D&D’s next big game won’t play anything like BG3 — and with the director of Jedi: Survivor, that’s the point
- Director Stig Asmussen of 'Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order' and 'Survivor' is working on a new AAA Dungeons & Dragons game with his studio Giant Skull.
- The deal between Giant Skull and Hasbro for the D&D game was recently finalized after over a year of work.
- Asmussen's new studio, Giant Skull, was founded in 2024 with a focus on creating a single-player action adventure game using Unreal Engine 5.
- The Wizards of the Coast president, John Hight, who has a history with Asmussen, spearheaded the deal with Giant Skull for the D&D project.
- While other options were considered, the rich possibilities of Dungeons & Dragons resonated with Asmussen more than other IPs.
- The D&D game will offer creative freedom without the constraints of canon and lore compared to working on Star Wars games.
- Giant Skull's expertise in melee combat and innovative motion models impressed Hight and paved the way for the D&D project.
- The game's development is still in early stages, focusing on creating smooth character movement and engaging traversal mechanics.
- Specific details about the D&D game's elements and core mechanics are not yet disclosed, but a focus on immersive storytelling, heroic combat, and exhilarating traversal is promised.
- Asmussen emphasizes the importance of providing players with various ways to interact with the environment and build their character effectively.
