Limited-time event introduces the Samurai class, rare gear, and free login rewards
TOKYO, JAPAN – July 11, 2025 – Drecom Co., Ltd. today announced a major summer update for Wizardry Variants Daphne, the latest title in the legendary Wizardry RPG franchise. This update introduces the Samurai, a katana-exclusive class built around reactive sword stances, along with a new limited-time Legendary Adventurer: Shiou, the Everlasting Katana Hunter. Players can unlock Shiou, earn rare equipment, and experience new survival mechanics during a series of special campaigns running through August 6 (JST).
New Class: Samurai
A new katana-exclusive class joins the roster, focused on adapting to the battlefield through versatile sword stances.
Class Overview: Samurai
A class hailing from the Eastern lands, known for their unique sword arts. Masters of the blade, Samurai overcome physically stronger foes through timing and precision.
Samurai-Exclusive Weapon - Katana
A curved, single-edged blade over 60 cm long. When imbued with magical energy, the katana can unleash devastating attacks.
Samurai Sword Arts
Samurai cannot equip other weapons or shields. Instead, they shift between stances for offense and defense. The right stance at the right time can turn even dire moments into victory.
New Legendary Adventurer: Shiou, the Everlasting Katana Hunter
A beastfolk samurai and master of the Ephemeral Illusion style, Shiou is renowned for her precise swordplay and survival instincts.
"I am Shiou, a samurai trained in the Ephemeral Illusion style, who wields the katana with a mind clear as still water."
[Notable Skills]
[Ephemeral Illusion Stance]
Enters the Ephemeral Illusion Stance for 1 turn and performs a massive air-type physical attack that bypasses Defense Power on 1 enemy. Increases own Action Speed and increases damage taken. Stance is cancelled if damage is taken during stance. Can only be used once per battle when own HP is 30% or under.
[Samurai-specific][Katana-specific]
[Lingering Blossom]
Increases Attack Power and Surety for 3 turns. For 1 turn, the user becomes more likely to be targeted by enemies, and if they would take damage that reduces their HP to 0, they might persevere once with 1 HP. If the user perseveres, their Evasion, Attack Power, and Surety are increased for 4 turns. Chance of persevering and chance of being targeted are greatly reduced, and Evasion, Attack Power, and Surety increase amounts are also reduced if learned by anyone other than Shiou.

About the Story of Wizardry Variants Daphne
Once every 100 years, the Abyss opens, spreading a death curse across the continent. As the royal line that once sealed it vanishes, despair spreads. Wizardry Variants Daphne is a hardcore 3D dungeon RPG inspired by the legendary Wizardry franchise. Players build squads, delve into labyrinthine dungeons, and survive high-stakes turn-based battles.
About Wizardry Variants Daphne
Wizardry Variants Daphne is a 3D dungeon RPG, a completely new addition to the Wizardry series. The game system follows the play cycle of the traditional 3D dungeon RPGs, with players progressing deeper into dungeons called Abyss, by repeatedly getting stronger, resupplying in towns, and battling and collecting items in dungeons. Battles with enemies proceed in a command battle system, and a formation of up to six characters, including the player, can enjoy highly strategic battles that make full use of spells and skills.
