Overview

• President John Hight confirmed that Michael de Plater and 14 former Cliffhanger Games developers have joined to incubate a new title.
• The hires previously worked on EA’s canceled Black Panther project at Cliffhanger, which was shuttered in May 2025.
• The project is in early concept and design, with time set aside for a broad exploration of ideas before details are decided.
• Wizards has not tied the effort to Dungeons & Dragons, situating it alongside other unannounced collaborations with directors like Stig Asmussen and Corrine Busche.
• Several team members had also worked with de Plater at Monolith Productions, which Warner Bros. closed earlier this year.
