Stig Asmussen, the game industry veteran who directed God of War III and Star
Wars Jedi: Survivor and Fallen Order, is developing a single-player action-
adventure game set in the world of Dungeons & Dragons in partnership with
publisher Wizards of the Coast.

This will be the first project for Asmussen's studio Giant Skull since its
founding in late 2023. In a press release sent to Engadget, the studio shared
it is "dedicated to building gameplay-driven, story-immersed action-adventure
games." The new project will be built on the Unreal 5 engine and is currently
in development for PC, with console details coming at a later date. No
specific release dates, renderings or game content has been shared as of yet,
making it unlikely this game will be out before 2026.

John Hight, president of Wizards of the Coast (the owners of the iconic
tabletop RPG), said "Stig and the team at Giant Skull are exactly the type of
exceptionally talented creators we want to work with and IΓÇÖm so happy to be
reuniting with him on this new project.ΓÇ¥ Stig Asmussen shared that the
studio's goal is to "craft a rich new Dungeons & Dragons universe filled with
immersive storytelling, heroic combat and exhilarating traversal that players
will fully embrace."

This new project comes as Wizards of the Coast moves on from its deal with
developer Larian Studios, the team behind the widely-acclaimed Baldur's Gate
3. The Hasbro-owned publisher has a slew of games in the pipeline in
partnership with various game studios in the United States and Canada. These
include the sci-fi RPG Exodus, which is being developed by Archetype
Entertainment, and Atomic ArcadeΓÇÖs Snake Eyes, which is based on the G.I.
Joe.
