Wizards of the Coast's head honcho asserts that Baldur's Gate 4 is in the works, but stresses that it's not the project the director of Star Wars Jedi and God of War 3 is currently tackling.
In an exciting turn of events, a new action-adventure game set in the world of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) is being developed by a new studio, Giant Skull, in partnership with Wizards of the Coast. This game, which remains untitled, is not a successor to Baldur's Gate, but rather an original title aiming to bring D&D to a broader audience.
The creative background of Giant Skull's director, Stig Asmussen, is evident in the game's design. Asmussen has previously worked on multiple God of War games, served as the director of God of War 3, and directed Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Survivor. His experience in creating cinematic third-person action games is expected to make the new D&D game appealing to fans of action games, Jedi games, and God of War games, as well as to D&D players.
Wizards of the Coast has signed an exclusive publishing agreement with Giant Skull for this project. The company has confirmed that the game is separate from the upcoming Baldur's Gate 4, which is expected to be made by a different studio. Giant Skull's game focuses on delivering a broader, more action-packed experience, targeting a wider audience beyond the traditional CRPG fans of Baldur's Gate.
The goal of Giant Skull is to create game-play driven, story immersed, action-adventure games set in captivating worlds. They view D&D as a playground for everyone, with the goal of perpetuating its popularity for the next 50 years.
Unfortunately, no details about the title or release date of the new D&D game from Giant Skull have been revealed yet. However, with the pedigree of the team behind it, fans of D&D and action games alike are eagerly anticipating the release of this new title.
