Overview

• New president John Hight says he would love to see a modern Dungeons & Dragons MMORPG but argues the genre’s traditional design needs updating.
• He characterizes the idea as exploratory, describing it as a “glimmer in my eye,” with no project announced or timeline set.
• Hight ties any greenlight to assembling the right team, securing scalable backend infrastructure, and defining a clear approach.
• His perspective draws on 12 years at Blizzard overseeing major parts of World of Warcraft.
• Beyond MMO exploration, Wizards is expanding its D&D game slate, including a single-player action-adventure led by Stig Asmussen at Giant Skull and an incubation project headed by Monolith veteran Michael de Plater with former EA developers.
