Wizards of the Coast has announced a partnership with Giant Skull, a studio founded by Star Wars Jedi director Stig Asmussen, to publish an all-new single-player action game set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe.

Dungeons & Dragons IP owner Wizards of the Coast has revealed a new game is in the works, with Star Wars Jedi director Stig Asmussen leading the project alongside his studio Giant Skull.

In its announcement, WotC revealed the game is a single-player action-adventure D&D title in development for PC and consoles. The company promises more details at a later date.

What We Know About the Game So Far

Hasbro-owned Wizards of the Coast describes the upcoming D&D game as an “all-new, single-player action-adventure title set in the world of Dungeons & Dragons.” Stig Asmussen has added in the announcement that the team  at Giant Skull wants to create a rich universe “filled with immersive storytelling, heroic combat, and exhilarating traversal that players will fully embrace.”

Neither WotC or Giant Skull have revealed more about the game, but with Asmussen’s latest project being the massively successful Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, fans can likely expect a rich and story-driven campaign with action, stunning cinematics, and epic combat.

Why This Is Big for D&D Fans

Since Larian Studios announced it would be moving on from the D&D universe after the highly acclaimed Baldur’s Gate 3, many have wondered where Wizards of the Coast would go with the next Dungeons & Dragons game. While fans remain hopeful for Baldur’s Gate 4, this new upcoming title from Giant Skull reveals plans for more high-quality D&D content.

The partnership between WotC and Giant Skull could represent a new long-term plan to deliver consistent games set in the D&D universe. Whether the game can be as successful as BG3 or not, Wizards of the Coast is moving forward with what it calls its “Playing to Win Strategy” as it looks to expand its “presence in digital play.”

Release Window and Expectations

Giant Skull and Wizards of the Coast are remaining quiet on the game’s release date. When it eventually launches, it will have been built from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5 for PC and next-gen consoles.

Although a single-player, story-driven action-adventure may not be what fans were expecting, Stig Asmussen’s extensive experience and impressive resume, which includes work on the Star Wars Jedi games, offer hope that the game could be a significant success.

Conclusion

Wizards of the Coast has announced a new partnership with Giant Skulls to publish a new single-player action-adventure game set in the D&D universe. Were you hoping for Baldur’s Gate 4? Do you think the new game will be a success? Share your thoughts in the comments.
