Arc System Works has released the first information and screenshots of Wizard’s Symphony, its newly announced dungeon RPG coming to PlayStation 4 and Switch this fall in Japan.
Get the details below.
■ Story
Wizard’s Sympony is set 20 years after the events of Wizard’s Harmony.
A traditional fantasy spun by new adventurers in a world of swords and magic.
A world where swords and magic have developed more than science—.
In this world, the increase in adventurers shows no signs of stopping, and trade dealing with adventurers has unexpectedly caused a bubble economy.
The protagonist, a young man named Alto, is a “Historic Ruins Tour Guide”—or “Conductor” for short—which is one of the occupations born from that bubble.
Set in the city of “Kazan,” where traces of the magical kingdom Glasoska thought to have been destroyed in a single night 1,000 years ago remain, Alto and company’s adventure is about to begin—.
■ Character Design
Character design for Wizard’s Symphony is being handled by Moo, who took the world by storm as the illustrator of Wizard’s Harmony.

■ Game Overview
A Dungeon RPG that Utilizes Character Traits
Wizard’s Symphony is a dungeon RPG in which players form a party based on the battle situation and progress through dungeons. Battles proceed in a turn-based command-style, where players choose character actions such as using magic and items. During dungeon exploration, characters may also have various conversations with each other depending on the situation.
Fully Voiced Dramatic-Story
The story is a traditional fantasy story of swords and magic that plays out both comically and seriously via a cast of unique characters. The story is also fully voiced, and there are plenty of event illustrations drawn by Moo.
In town, players can accept quests and purchase items.
The Series’ Familiar “Affinity” System Returns
The familiar “Affinity” system from Wizard’s Harmony will return in Wizard’s Symphony. The current status of the constantly changing “Character Affinity” will also have an influence on battles. Also, each character has a “Unique Skill,” and how you develop which characters will play a major role in the overall difficulty of clearing a dungeon.
