Overview

  • Under an exclusive deal, Giant Skull is developing an early-stage, single-player Dungeons & Dragons action-adventure led by God of War and Star Wars Jedi director Stig Asmussen.
  • The title will emphasize action-driven mechanics over traditional CRPG systems to attract fans of franchises like God of War and Jedi.
  • President John Hight clarified that Asmussen’s project is distinct from the Baldur’s Gate series and not the sequel to Baldur’s Gate 3.
  • Larian Studios has opted out of further Baldur’s Gate development, paving the way for WotC to partner with a new developer on Baldur’s Gate 4.
  • The agreement exemplifies WotC’s broader strategy to build a premium, multi-title D&D publishing slate combining veteran names and emerging studios.
