WotC CEO Chris Cocks may have just teased a Dragonlance video game, amongst others. Talking to GamesIndustry.biz, he made reference to the over 100 D&D video games of the past, and indicated that 6 new D&D video games will be coming out in the next 5 years -- Dark Alliance and Baldur's Gate 3 being the first two.

Previous Dragonlance video games

Dark Alliance centers around Drizzt Do-Urden. BG3 is set around the Sword Coast of the Forgotten Realms. But he goes on to talk about others:

"In one game you might run a thieves guild and traverse the Thieves Highway of Waterdeep, in another you might marshal dragon hosts in the war-torn world of Krynn. In still another, you might explore the very origins of the D&D universe in real-time combat. The brand's richness is an enabler of tons of amazing game experiences so rather than a challenge, we see it as an amazing opportunity."

There have been several Dragonlance video games before. Cocks says that video games are "core to our brand blueprint and how we plan to expand our audience", pointing out that the video game market is an order of magnitude larger than the tabletop gaming market.

It will be interesting if we do start seeing other settings in D&D videogames - other than Planescape Torment, it's been all Forgotten Realms for a long time now, unless I'm forgetting something.

You aren't wrong. And before that it was a Ravenloft fighting game and a Dark Sun adventure game. Also one Dragonlance game

Before that it was all Mystara.

I'd expect at least one of those six games if not more will be mobile games. I'm curious what the rest will be since we've got our CRPG with Baldur's Gate 3 and our action-brawler with Dark Alliance 3. Curious what other genres they'll do...
