HD Remaster of the Cult JRPG Classic Soon To Be Released on PlayStation®, Nintendo® Switch
and Steam
Clear River Games, a video game publisher specialising in classic and retro games, in conjunction with Japanese publisher and developer City Connection, announced today WiZmans World Re;Try, an HD remaster of the legendary JRPG WiZman’s World from Jaleco, coming to PlayStation®, Nintendo® Switch and Steam and expected to ship early 2026.
The original Japanese-only game was released by Jaleco in 2010, and brought dark, alchemic adventures to DS owners who dared to enter the vast world of Wizarest. Now remastered for modern platforms and featuring enhanced 2D pixel graphics and sound, the game is set to delight JRPG and monster girl fans all over the globe.
Bold adventurers will start their journey as the young wizard Claus, who has come of age to begin his dungeon exploring career. The city of Wizarest has been cut off from the outside world for over a century, with its people living in isolation, stripped of their memories and surrounded by labyrinthine dungeons crawling with monsters. Claus discovers that his mentor and adoptive mother, the prodigal mage and alchemist, Giselle, has been missing since she went into the dungeons last month, and he vows to uncover the mystery behind her disappearance.
The citizens have been trying to navigate the dungeons for years but to no avail, and a century later, no exit has been found. It’s up to you, and the three artificial magical beings left to you by your mentor, Giselle, to explore the perilous dungeons, uncover the secrets behind the town’s and your own memory loss, and confront the force responsible for the world’s decay. Your friendly homunculus companions are able to absorb the souls of defeated monsters and evolve through “Anima Fusion”, allowing you to tailor your companions, changing their stats, abilities and appearance. Every decision you make throughout your adventure will affect your relationship with your companions, influence the storyline, and affect the outcome of the world’s fate, so choose your steps wisely!
