New D&D Video Game Announced

New video game developer Giant Skull is developing a new D&D video game. Variety announced the new untitled game today, which will be a single-player action-adventure game set in one of the worlds of the game.

Giant Skull was founded by Stig Asmussen in 2023. Asmussen previously was the game director of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, as well as God of War 3.

“Stig and the team at Giant Skull are exactly the type of exceptionally talented creators we want to work with, and I’m so happy to be reuniting with him on this new project,” Wizards of the Coast chief and digital gaming president at Hasbro John Hight told Variety. “In our time working together on ‘God of War I’ got to see firsthand Stig’s artistry and expertise, and he and the Giant Skull team are the perfect fit for our new game. Worldbuilding and storytelling is in our DNA, and this collaboration reflects our evolution and commitment to our ‘Playing to Win’ strategy, building a stronger presence in digital play. We look forward to revealing more about this brand-new ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ game in the future.”

Out in (probably) 20230 or so.

Hopefully we'll get about ten thousand years of early access...

That's a really long time to wait.

Is that the dimensions it is actually released in?

I feel like 92 diffrent games and 56 diffrent shows have been announced in the last 5 years.

At least we got the 3d VTT for about 3 weeks.

I would be very suprrised for that style of game.

I am just guessing. AAA games take YEARS to make these days, and I doubt this is already a couple years in development.

It will probably be released, using 2024 core rules, right before they do major rules changes and a new edition for the game as a whole.

Even if that were to happen, DDO was still successful under the same situation.

You have to love lines like this:

WotC has Evolved and is Playing to Win! Truly inspiring marketspeak I must say!

Sure, but this isn't an MMO, and it would be weird to release a game that used old mechanics. You'd want it to support the new mechanics and have that more seamless link.
