Wizards of the Coast Cuts 90% of Sigil Virtual Tabletop Team Weeks After Launch

The 3D virtual tabletop project will be folded into D&D Beyond as layoffs leave a skeleton crew to oversee its integration.

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.
