Baldur’s Gate 3 made waves in 2023, standing out as exceptional among a stacked lineup of games. Its impact continues, with various Dungeons & Dragons-based games greenlit by Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro. The latest announcement comes from Gameloft, revealing a co-op survival-ish title set in the D&D setting, the Forgotten Realms. Other D&D-based titles in the works include a VR title from Resolution Games and a multiplayer game from Starbreeze.
The breakup between Embracer and Saber also caught attention, with studios getting divided in the aftermath. Matthew Karch, founder of Beacon, which acquired the company, hinted at Embracer’s history of layoffs but expressed optimism for the future. Personal gaming experiences include playing new releases like Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden and anticipating upcoming titles like Dragon’s Dogma 2, Rise of the Ronin, and Princess Peach: Showtime!
