D&D Publisher Signs God of War & Star Wars Jedi Director for New Action-Adventure Game

Wizards of the Coast, the company behind the popular tabletop role-playing game *Dungeons & Dragons*, is expanding its video game presence. Following the success of *Baldur's Gate 3* (developed by Larian Studios, who are now working on their own project), WotC has partnered with Giant Skull, a new studio founded by Stig Asmussen, the director of *God of War 3* and *Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order* and *Survivor*.

This collaboration will result in a "single-player action-adventure" game set in the *Dungeons & Dragons* universe. The game is being developed on Unreal Engine 5 and is planned for release on both PC and consoles. Asmussen, serving as CEO of Giant Skull, aims to create a rich and immersive experience with compelling storytelling, engaging combat, and exciting traversal.

While details are scarce, the project signals WotC's continued investment in the D&D video game market. The article also mentions other D&D projects in development, including one led by the director of *Dragon Age: The Veilguard*. This move highlights the growing demand for D&D-based video games, capitalizing on the success of *Baldur's Gate 3* and the enduring popularity of the tabletop game. More information about the Giant Skull project is expected to be revealed later.
