Veteran directors from God of War 3 and Star Wars Jedi join forces to create a Dungeons & Dragons game, aiming to delve into a legendary and mythical experience with their new studio.
In a groundbreaking development, Giant Skull, the studio led by industry veteran Stig Asmussen, has partnered with Wizards of the Coast to create an original Dungeons & Dragons title. As of August 2025, the game remains unnamed, but it's shaping up to be an exciting addition to the action-adventure genre.
This new game is an all-new, single-player action-adventure set in the world of Dungeons & Dragons. It aims to appeal to both dedicated D&D fans and players who enjoy high-quality action games, such as God of War and Star Wars Jedi. The developers have made it clear that this game will be distinct from the Baldur's Gate series, offering a fresh take on the beloved D&D universe.
John Hight, president of Wizards of the Coast, has confirmed that Baldur's Gate 4 is in the works, but the developer is yet to be announced. Hight was impressed by Giant Skull's first prototype and suggested working on a Hasbro or Wizards of the Coast IP. The agreement between the two entities is for the creation of this innovative action-adventure title.
The D&D team was involved in the project's development after the decision to work on D&D was made. The team at Giant Skull is known for their ability to work well with partners and for capturing the spirit of the worlds they work with. They were drawn to the opportunity to create something legendary and mythical, with plenty of room to explore and capture the spirit of the Dungeons & Dragons world.
Stig Asmussen, the director of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Survivor, and God of War 3, is leading the development of this new game. While details about the game, such as its title, release date, and gameplay mechanics, have not been disclosed, it's clear that Asmussen and his team are aiming to create a CRPG (Computer Role-Playing Game) as serious as Baldur's Gate 3.
Many of the team members at Giant Skull have grown up with Dungeons & Dragons, adding a personal touch to their work on this project. The new game from Giant Skull is different from Larian's RPG, offering a unique take on the Dungeons & Dragons universe.
For Asmussen, working on a D&D game is significant for his new company, Giant Skull. He was drawn to D&D, Magic The Gathering, and other Hasbro brands, but ultimately chose D&D for the project. Despite being a D&D title, this game is not a direct sequel to any existing D&D game, offering fans a fresh perspective on the beloved universe.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new project as more details are revealed.
