And it’s being made by Defense Grid studio Hidden Course.
In the conclusion of 2019 the president of Wizards of the Coast, Chris Cocks, said that there were eight or seven games according to Dungeons & Dragons from the functions . We all know about Baldur’s Gate Dark and 3 Alliance of course, and today, as a result of a tweet from Hidden Path Entertainmentwe understand about one more.
The founder of the Defense Grid series, as well as co-developer of CS:GO and Age of Empires 2 HD, published a series of job listings, stating,”We’re in development to a AAA, third-person, open-world dream RPG that is going to be happening within the Dungeons & Dragons franchise.” This was backed up by its project narrative manager Whitney Beltrán, who has composed for matches such as State of Decay two and Beyond Blue.
As for what kind of RPG it is likely to be, the project listings cite Unreal Engine 4 and the author position calls for”voiced dialogue writing abilities” and”story reconciliation skills” as well as experience with”strong ensemble casts”. Sure sounds like things you’d expect in a big-budget RPG having a celebration of companies.
The term”taking place within the Dungeons & Dragons franchise”, while a horrible mangling of the English language, also indicates it will use one of the existing D&D settings. The two Baldur’s Gate 3 and Dark Alliance are set in the Forgotten Realms, but Whitney Beltrán includes a writing credit on Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft, a forthcoming supplement for the actual tabletop version of D&D describing D&D’s underused gothic terror world, which will make a killer background for a videogame. That is not evidence Hidden Course is creating a Ravenloft videogame, of course. I am just putting it out there.
