D&D General Hidden Path Making 3rd Person Open World AAA D&D Video Game

Hidden Path Entertainment is recruiting for an "AAA, third-person, open-world fantasy RPG that will be taking place inside the Dungeons & Dragons franchise." The game will use Unreal Engine 4. The company has made games like Raccoon Lagoon, Witchblood, Defense Grid, and has also been involved with Age of Empires and Counter Strike.

An open-world game is one like the Grand Theft Auto series, where the player is free to roam across the world. Other examples include Fallout, Assassin's Creed, and more.

When is that other forgotten realms game that the released clip has Drizzt running an weird POV angles? Is that’s also the unreal engine?

Dark Alliance.

It a Vermintide Clone. And Vermintide was garbage.

It could be a no-republished setting, for example Ravenloft or Dark Sun. I doubt a new MMO because it would be a rival for DDO and Newerwinter Online, and also Magic: the Gathering. Today the multiplayer online are too risky.

The last online D&D got abandoned and Anthem, supposedly a AAA just got abandoned.

Yet World of Warcraft, so long in the tooth, it is almost primordial, just refuses to let go

It's almost as if it matters if a game is good or not...

Why not compare it to Daggerfall, hard to get more open world than that and is earlier than GTA.

Many folks here seem to be missing the point of comparison. The point isn't to name the game that is most like the target. The point is to get the most people to the general idea. GTA is one of the most recognized games series on the planet. It gets the idea across.

Daggerfall is 25 years old. It is several generations of technology behind. While a comparison to Elder Scrolls overall may be reasonable, comparison to a game older than many/most current players you are targeting is probably not a good idea.

Also I don't play many video games. I've never heard of "Breath of the Wild" or "Daggerfall". I have heard of GTA.

Zelda? That breath of the wild?

So you're saying I shouldn't compare the game to Zork? But how will people know that they have to have light so they aren't eaten by the grue?

Heard of Elder Scrolls? Daggerfall was the second one in the series.
