The game, set in the mythical Forgotten Realms within the Dungeons & Dragons® universe, will bring unique cooperative gameplay built around an innovative hybrid of survival, life simulation and action RPG.

Gameloft has licensed the world’s greatest roleplaying game – Dungeons & Dragons – from Wizards of the Coast, to publish a new PC and console game developed by its Montreal Studio, creators of Disney Dreamlight Valley, LEGO Star Wars Castaways, and several games within the iconic Dungeon Hunter series.

The game, set in the mythical Forgotten Realms within the Dungeons & Dragons universe, will bring unique cooperative gameplay built around an innovative hybrid of survival, life simulation and action RPG. Players can expect an adventure where the rich lore of this legendary franchise meets real-time survival in a unique campaign of resilience, camaraderie, and danger at nearly every turn.

“We are honored to partner with Wizards of the Coast to deliver a completely new experience in the Dungeons & Dragons® universe,” said Lee Kaburis, Executive Producer at Gameloft Montreal. “We are all big fans of D&D and are already hard at work bringing our concept to life, including growing our team, and we look forward to sharing more details in the future.”

"Making friends, both on and off the table, has always been a core Dungeons & Dragons value and it is our goal, as life-long fans, to bring this experience to a different genre renowned for emergent gameplay and shared narrative that can be enjoyed by both newcomers and tabletop masters alike” added Marc-Andre Deslongchamps, Creative Director at Gameloft Montreal.

“Our portfolio of IP including Dungeons & Dragons continues to attract amazing partners as we execute our plan to grow our digital games portfolio through licensing and internal development,” says Eugene Evans, SVP of Digital Strategy and Licensing at Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro. “Our partnership with Gameloft is a prime illustration of our strategy. Given their impressive record building incredible new experiences with major IPs combined with their passion for D&D and vision for this game, we are confident they will create an experience that will delight fans worldwide.”
