The new version will include four UI modes (including two new ones), a built-in scenario selector, gamepad support, and other enhancements. The developers are remaking the game using the Unity engine. The Early Access release includes all the features of the original 2006 game and all official scenarios for the game are playable up until the ending. The game is a spin-off of the long-running Wizardry game series and originally released in 2006.

The game was originally slated to launch on Steam Early Access on Friday. The announcement added that there is a possibility that the game’s title and certain interface elements may be changed, though content for the Early Access launch has been completed. The post added that Wizardry: The Five Ordeals does not include dungeon layouts, unique names, or UI and graphics elements from those earlier games. The announcement also emphasized that the game is unrelated to the original first five Wizardry games. The official Steam Early Access page for 59 Studio and Game*Spark Publishing’s remake of the Wizardry: The Five Ordeals spin-off game announced on Thursday that the game’s Early Access release has been delayed due to “various reasons.”
