In an official statement on its social media channels and website, Drecom clarifies that Atari did not purchase the Wizardry game IP from it, nor does the company plan on selling it in the future. This mix-up occurred when some news outlets announced that Atari had acquired the rights to the first five entries in the RPG series.
The short statement made it clear that Atari only owns the intellectual property rights to the first five Wizardry games. These are: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord (1981), Wizardry II: The Knight of Diamonds (1982), Wizardry III: Legacy of Llylgamyn (1983), Wizardry IV: The Return of Werdna (1987), and Wizardry V: Heart of the Malestrom (1988). Atari acquired these, as well as other related intellectual property and rights, from the original rights holder. However, Drecom still owns and manages the Wizardry trademark worldwide.
The Wizardry series comprises eight mainline titles, as well as multiple spin-offs. The most recent titles are from Japanese producers. Wizardry Variants Daphne came out in 2024 for mobile devices, and Wizlite: Everybody loved RPGs came out later the same year on the PC.
While Atari now owns the rights to the first five Wizardry games, Drecom still owns the rights to the IP as a whole, as well as to other titles in the franchise.
