In June 2025, Wizards of the Coast announced a partnership with Giant Skull–the studio founded by Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and God of War III director Stig Asmussen–for a “single-player action-adventure title set in the world of Dungeons & Dragons.” Unfortunately, that project has now been canceled just shy of the one-year anniversary of that announcement.
According to Bloomberg, Wizards of the Coast’s parent company, Hasbro, and Giant Skull both confirmed that the untitled Dungeons & Dragons game is no longer happening.
“We assess concepts at every stage of development,” said Wizards of the Coast in a statement. “While we decided not to pursue an early concept from Giant Skull, we have great respect for Stig Asmussen and his team and value our ongoing relationship.” The company reportedly added t,” a spokesperson for Wizards of the Coast said, adding that it is still talking pitches from Giant Skull about new potential projects.
Asmussen told the outlet that “things are good at Giant Skull,” and added that the developer is taking with other companies about future publishing deals.
Following the blockbuster success of Larian Studios’ Baldur’s Gate 3, Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast revealed plans to invest $1 billion in AAA game development in 2024. Since then, Hasbro has closed down Atomic Arcade, the developer of a single-player G.I. Joe game starring Snake Eyes. Last year, Starbreeze also canceled its Dungeons & Dragons game in favor of focusing on its own signature franchise, Payday.
Wizards of the Coast currently has a partnership with developer Archetype Studios for a space-opera RPG called Exodus, as well as a D&D game, Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons, coming from Invoke Studios. Warlock was unveiled at The Game Awards, and it will be a third-person action-adventure game starring a character who can utilize “immersive, expressive magic.”
