Overview

• Wizards of the Coast laid off approximately 30 employees, representing 90% of the Sigil development team, on March 18, 2025.
• Sigil, a 3D virtual tabletop tool developed in Unreal Engine 5, launched in early access on February 28, 2025, as part of the D&D Beyond subscription service.
• The platform faced criticism for limited features, bugs, and high system requirements, leading to doubts about its viability.
• Reports suggest internal mismanagement and conflicting visions between Hasbro leadership and developers hindered the project's success.
• Sigil will now be integrated into the existing D&D Beyond platform, with a small team remaining to handle the transition and limited updates.
