New Adventure Awaits in the Dungeons & Dragons Universe
Gamers, get ready for an exciting announcement! The first game from director Stig Asmussen of Star Wars Jedi fame is set in the beloved Dungeons & Dragons universe. This single-player action-adventure game is being developed by his new studio, Giant Skull.
Founded just last year after Asmussen’s departure from Respawn Entertainment, Giant Skull is now collaborating with Wizards of the Coast, the owners of the Dungeons & Dragons IP. Although specific game details remain under wraps, players can expect this upcoming title to launch on both PC and console.
A Vision for Immersive Gameplay
As Stig Asmussen shared in a recent statement, Giant Skull’s vision centers around crafting action-adventure games brimming with captivating narratives. Leveraging Unreal Engine 5, the studio aims to deliver a AAA experience that’s rich in storytelling and dynamic gameplay.
Shedding light on this fresh collaboration, Wizards of the Coast president John Hight expressed enthusiasm for teaming up with Asmussen again. His past experience working on iconic titles such as God of War underlines the high expectations for this new project.
The gaming community is buzzing with anticipation, especially after the success of titles like Baldur’s Gate 3. With Larian Studios stepping away from the D&D universe, the spotlight is now on Giant Skull to deliver the next big hit. Players can expect an immersive Dungeons & Dragons universe where heroic combat and exhilarating traversal blend seamlessly.
Asmussen’s impressive track recordâ€â€from lead artist on the original God of War to directing both Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and its sequelâ€â€cements his role as a creative powerhouse in the industry. The collaboration between him and Wizards of the Coast is poised to redefine gaming experiences within the D&D realm, elevating both worldbuilding and storytelling to new heights.
