Wizards of the Coast, in collaboration with Giant Skull, announced the development of a new Dungeons & Dragons video game on June 2, 2025.

Giant Skull, co-founded by Stig Asmussen, who is known for his work on the God of War and Star Wars Jedi series, will lead the development of this action-adventure title.

Set within the Dungeons & Dragons universe, the game aims to provide a narrative-driven experience primarily for solo players.

This project is part of Wizards of the Coast's strategy to release one to two new D&D games each year, building on the franchise's popularity following the success of Baldur's Gate 3.

While the new game is a response to the success of Baldur's Gate 3, it will differ significantly as it is not a CRPG like its predecessor.

The announcement comes just ahead of the Summer Game Fest 2025, generating excitement for more news on upcoming games.

The timing of this announcement follows the acclaim of Baldur's Gate 3, which won multiple Game of the Year awards after its release in August 2023.

Wizards of the Coast is actively pursuing digital projects to enhance its gaming portfolio, which includes various adaptations and original titles.

Speculation suggests that the new game may feature iconic D&D character Drizzt Do'Urden, known for his twin scimitars, reflecting Asmussen's previous work.

Further details about the game are limited, but Asmussen is expected to discuss it during a panel at The Game Business event on June 9, 2025.

John Hight, President of Digital Gaming at Wizards of the Coast, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration with Asmussen, highlighting their shared commitment to worldbuilding and storytelling.

Giant Skull, founded in 2024, aims to utilize Unreal Engine 5 for the development of this new Dungeons & Dragons title.
