Wizards of the Coast, publisher of Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering, has canceled at least five video games, this is coming from Bloomberg. They had no comment on the name of the titles that were canceled, only saying
“We remain committed to using digital games as a cornerstone of our strategy for bringing our games to players around the world. We have made some changes to our long-term portfolio to focus on games which are strategically aligned with developing our existing brands and those which show promise in expanding or engaging our audience in new ways.”
In 2021, Wizards of the Coast announced that it had “seven or eight” Dungeons & Dragons videogames in the works. That included Baldur’s Gate 3, currently in early access, and co-op brawler Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance, released to a mixed reception in 2021, but the other games have yet to come out or be formally announced. They may not all be in danger, however. The part of Wizards’ statement about focusing on “existing brands” suggests D&D-related projects might be safer than others.
The only game I think is still in development is from Hidden Path Entertainment, was working on a big-budget open world D&D game. It still has five job openings related to the project listed on its website.
