just like nearly everything wotc touches, it sucks
Logos relating to Dungeons & Dragons should look like these:

I don't think you can shit on a franchise that's already gone to shit, so the harm they can do is pretty limited.

Maybe it should have been called Harmsuit Labs.

Tho, not like Wizards is knocking it out of the park themselves: Has D&D actually made anything cool in the past few years?

Also, what the fuck is a Strix...?

Not new but now it's official


Ah yes, that meaningful "franchise" of D&D, which, as a rules set for group, tabletop, turn based play maps perfectly to a Skyrim clone.

Perhaps she meant Forgotten Realms? But of course the casuals who this is targeted at don't know the difference.

Hidden Path Entertainment, the studio that worked with Valve to develop Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, is working on a "AAA, third-person, open-world fantasy RPG that will be taking place inside the Dungeons & Dragons franchise."
Hidden Path shared the news on Twitter by calling out for potential Graphics Programmers, Lead Graphics Programmers, Senior Technical Artists, and Writers to apply to join the team and work on this project.

By looking at the job descriptions, it appears as though this Dungeons & Dragons project will be built in Unreal Engine 4. Hidden Path is also looking for those experienced in console technology (hinting at a release beyond PC), a writer who has narrative branching skills and experience with ensemble casts, and more.

In 2019, Wizards of the Coast president Chris Cocks revealed that "seven or eight" games are planning for the popular role-playing franchise over the next few years, and this appears to be another one of those alongside the previously announced Dark Alliance action-RPG.
There is also a Dungeons & Dragons film in the works at Paramount that will star Hugh Grant, Sophia Lillis, Chris Pine, Michelle Rodgriguez, Justice Smith, and Rege-Jean Page.

If all this sounds exciting but you have no idea how to actually play Dungeons & Dragons, be sure to check out our guide of everything you need to play D&D from the comfort of your own home.

Chris Cocks? More like Chris... oh wait.

Well I don't have any feelings on this, the studio is otherwise untested outside of a good batch of VR titles, development partner ship in Global Offensive... and Defense Grid. Well, I like Defense Grid, but I have no idea what an open world game from them would look like. I'm also sure this is so early in development, this could be cancelled at any moment, and we'd hear nothing more about it.

So, who knows?
