Hasbro Inc. has canceled a publishing deal with the independent video-game studio Giant Skull less than a year after announcing it, the two companies confirmed this week.
Giant Skull was founded by
Stig Asmussen, the well-respected director of games such as
God of War III and
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, after
he left Electronic Arts Inc. in 2023. He recruited several industry veterans who had worked with him on the
Star Wars games at EA.
Last June, Hasbro’s Wizards of the Coast subsidiary said it was
partnering with Giant Skull on an action-adventure game set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe, calling it “a definitive moment in both companies’ gaming ambitions.”
But Wizards of the Coast pulled out of the deal earlier this year, the company told Bloomberg News.
