Hasbro has cancelled development of a Dungeons & Dragons video game led by Stig Asmussen, the director of the Star Wars: Fallen Order games. Bloomberg News reports that the game, under development from Asmussen’s Giant Skull studio, was cancelled less than a year after it was first announced. Per Bloomberg, Wizards opted not to “pursue an early concept” from Giant Skull, but was still taking pitches from the developer. There are apparently no hard feelings about the cancellation.
Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast are ramping up development of D&D video games, following the success of Baldur’s Gate 3. However, many of these projects have been unceremoniously cancelled, with changes in direction primarily cited as the reason for the games not being finished. The next D&D video game confirmed for release is Warlock, which will release sometime in 2027.
Wizards of the Coast told Bloomberg that it decided not to "pursue an early concept" from Giant Skull, but that it's still taking pitches from the developer. Asmussen indicated that there are no hard feelings, and that "things are good" at the studio.
