Wizardry What do we know of Wizardry 9?

[Pagen Pilot]

So I'm starting to get back into wizardry series, and reading about how W9 was under development before SirTech Canada went under, got me wondering. What do we know about W9? Are there are any design, story etc materials floating around? None online that I can find, besides a map but that looks like it was for Stones of Arnhem (might have been W9 after savant trilogy and SirTech trying to salvage SoA). Does anyone know about gameplay, game design, setting, story etc? Any ideas on how to get them? I know there were some ebay actuations here and there including the Stones of Arnhem one.

Hello and welcome to RPG Codex!

As for your question, the answer(s) you got on reddit are pretty much spot on.

AFAIK it was early in the development and there wasn't much set and done yet, so probably there wasn't anything you are looking for.

This is by the way the map you are refering to, I'm posting in case someone else is interested:

You mean, of course, Stones of Arnhem?

And if by any chance you didn't, I suggest you buy a triple chad protection, because Cleve is going to do to you what Duke does without bubblegum.

Yah thanks. One reply did say developers were planning to tone down scifi elements so that is an interesting angle to extrapolate from.

True, been looking through old recovered wizardry 8 interviews and cant find anything substantial about W9 and W10 besides "we have big ideas".

Fairly certain that map is back from Stones of Arnhem, not what Sir Tech Canada was planning for W9. Redditor comments were probably wrong.
