DLC scenario "Prisoner of the Battles" to be released in March 2023!
As for the additional scenario downloadable contents that we have previously announced, we are pleased to announce that we will release the first additional scenario, Prisoner of the Battles in March 2023.

Wizardry Gaiden: Prisoner of the Battles the predecessor to The Five Ordeals, was released as a standalone game in 2005 and later ported to PS2, iOS, and other platforms. It is a large-volume adventure set in multiple dungeons that can be tackled by the same group of adventurers. The items acquired by the adventurers have random magical effects, making for a more modern treasure hunting experience. The dungeons are also have with a trap that constantly displays a "mini-map" for each level, minimizing the use of mapping spells once sufficient exploration has been done.

This DLC version will be have some changes to the dungeon content and additional content to make it even more powerful.

Please wait for further information on specific release dates and prices.

We have made the difficult decision that most of the DLC for this game will be more expensive than the average Steam game. We believe this is necessary to ensure the longevity of the development of The Five Ordeals and to allow us to provide you with the DLC and content you desire in the future to the extent possible.

On the other hand, we have not given up on making The Five Ordeals accessible to as many users as possible, and we plan to make several improvements in the area of new users, including addition of a new default scenario before the 1.0. We sincerely hope that you will understand and support the sale of DLC for this title so that we can realize these plans more smoothly and with higher quality.
