Dungeons & Dragons: Warlock Video Game Announced by Invoke Studios

Invoke Studios, a subsidiary of Wizards of the Coast, has announced Dungeons & Dragons: Warlock, a new video game due out for 2027. The game features a new character named Kaati, played by Tricia Helfer, and will be a third-person action-adventure game. Players will use spellcraft to "solve challenges and take down monsters" with players having some freedom in how they solve problems.

"We're not trying to simulate the tabletop RPG experience, so there is no dice-rolling in the game — we're trying to really deliver a video-game experience first," said Dominic Guay, studio lead at Invoke Studios, in an interview with IGN. "If you are not familiar with Dungeons and Dragons, you are not going to feel friction, like in that you're missing details of the world. But if you are a fan of the universe, you are going to be really excited about what we are doing with the lore of the series for Warlock."

Invoke Studios was previously called Tuque Games, and made the much-derided Dark Alliance game in 2021.

Gameplay will be revealed in 2026, with a planned release for 2027.

That is not the bear I'd be poking, personally, but this does sound interesting.

Past performance doesn't always shackle future achievement. More experience, more time, more budget... game studios can definitely outdo prior works. But still, after Dark Alliance this is absolutely going on my "Wait for the reviews" list. No pre-orders here.

If this is another Dark Alliance, Invoke Studios is probably toast and I imagine they all know that.

Yeah, they hired a lot of new people, and have 6 years to make the game. Certainly not impossible they could have cooked something worthwhile with time, talent, and money.

But they're a triple A studio according to some here.
