Hasbro Confirms New Unannounced Dungeons & Dragons Video Game in Development

Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks has confirmed that an in-house studio is developing an unannounced Dungeons & Dragons video game. In a feature posted today on Bloomberg News, Cocks stated that Hasbro was actively developing a Dungeons & Dragons video game via one of its in-house studios. No further details were provided about the video game, nor was any timeline given about its release. Hasbro plans to release one to two video games a year by 2026, not including third party licensed games.

Hasbro is actively pivoting into a video game developer, having purchased or created several in-house studios in recent years. One of the most high-profile ventures is Exodus, a sci-fi RPG created by several BioWare veterans. A GI Joe video game focused on Snake-Eyes is also in development at a Hasbro-owned studio.

Hasbro is also actively working with several third party studios on new D&D video games. Gameloft, the maker of Disney Dreamlight Valley, is making a survival-life sim set in the Forgotten Realms, while Starbreeze Entertainment is also actively working on a D&D video game. Hasbro also cancelled several video game projects, including several Dungeons & Dragons-themed games back in 2023 as part of a strategic realignment.

that honestly seems the most likely thing with Cocks & Cao still running the show.

One of the guys behind Marvel Snap came from Magic the Gathering, so it's not that crazy an idea.
Like Snap, if the game is good enough, I don't mind the monetization.

A collab with Fortnite shouldn't be impossible. "Shop Titans" had got a collab with "Avatar" cartoon.

A child-friendly LEGO: D&D videogame could work.

Spelljammer could be option but it would be more focused toward the trade.

There was a dating sim with the killer characters from "Dead by Daylight".

If a D&D videogame used AI to create plots there is a serious risk of perverted players creating stories about horny bards flirtings with kenders and "worse things". Do you understant what I mean?

Why not a dating sim set in Stryxhaven?

This is my vote. BG3 is still massively popular and a bad BG4 might blow up in their face.

Yet we all know this is going to happen eventually: both the BG4 and it being bad and blowing up in their face.

 

[Paul Farquhar]

I don't know why people are throwing "BG4" around. They haven't even suggested it would be a CRPG. My guess would be since they are just starting out, they would begin with something simple, maybe a card battler or turn based management game. "Bastions" seems like a good title.

Yeah I don’t think there will be a BG 4 for a while. We will have to wait and see what’s coming, it might not even be RPGs.

Yes, but you would want a developer with a track record of making LEGO games to make it.

Baldur's Gate Dating Sim

Super Vecna Kart
Icewind Dale Valley
Dark Greyhawk Souls

Or, a bit more seriously, something Ravenloft.

I was going to say "It was?!?" but then I realized I had played Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance on my X-box back in the aughts and that was different... but also not bad at all. Not as good as D&D: Heroes, but still reasonably fun.

I enjoyed it a lot, and would enjoy it again as a mobile release.

“Four Grogs In Search of a Core”

That sounds like an incredibly stupid and shortsighted thing for Hasbro to do.

So it's probably true.

I tend to agree, and I'm a shareholder.
