GAMEproducer Arranges Polish Publishing for Long-Awaited Wizardry 8
GAMEproducer announced today that CD Projekt has committed to the Polish distribution of the highly anticipated epic fantasy role-playing game Wizardry 8. The PC title is the sequel to Wizardry 7: Crusaders of the Dark Savant.
Developed by Sir-tech Canada, Wizardry 8 is a project that has enjoyed a devoted following as it is reputed to be the hottest chapter of the series that defined the RPG genre. Sir-tech is also renowned for producing the award-winning Jagged Edge 2 and its mini sequel Jagged Edge 2: Unfinished Business. Both feature fusions of tactical combat, strategy, and role-playing.
Wizardy 8 picks up where Wizardry 7 left off. At the end of Wizardry 7, the Dark Savant had fled with the Astral Dominae, an incredibly powerful artifact possessing the secret of life. Two powerful races- the T'Rang and the Umpani, trail him- as well as a courageous throng of adventurers. All are off to the birthplace of the stolen relic, a world on the cusp of the cosmic circle named Dominus, home of the Cosmic Lords. Countless paths will converge on Dominus, and many clandestine secrets will be unearthed.
"We are glad to have helped CD Projekt secure this great game. Wizardry 8 is a perfect fit for them and I am sure will be a best seller in Poland this holiday season," said Lloyd Melnick, President of GAMEproducer, who arranged the publishing deal between Sir-tech and CD Projekt.
Marcin Iwinski, President of CD Projekt, said, "CD Projekt is very happy to be the publisher of Wizardry 8. GAMEproducer understands the high quality we demand for our products and have created a good match.”
