'Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked' Picks Up Baldur’s Gate/Icewind Dale Designer As Narrative Lead, Reveals Platforms - Screens & Trailer

Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked summons both battle-hardened veterans and eager newcomers to embark on adventures steeped in the world and lore of D&D.

Created with Resolution Game’s Demeo Action Roleplaying System, Battlemarked arms you with tactical might and magic to deploy alongside friends as you work co-operatively to vanquish the forces of evil.

Unlike the full Dungeons & Dragons experience, Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked is a DM-less system that focuses on social strategy rather than social roleplay, encouraging group tabletalk focused on tactics and decision-making.

With cross-platform support for up to four players co-operatively, Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked will feature two story-based campaigns at launch with additional campaigns in different D&D settings planned as downloadable content in the future.


“While the world of Demeo is rich with lore, our previous titles focus primarily on tactical action over motivation and narrative,” said Tommy Palm, founder and CEO of Resolution Games. “With Dungeons & Dragons, story is just as important as combat, so we’ve rebalanced our approach to make sure we can deliver more of it. With the addition of dramatic cut scenes, richer dialogue, and deeper player choices, Battlemarked truly marks the start of the next iteration of the Demeo Action Roleplaying System.”

To ensure the tone and lore of the Dungeons & Dragons universe are presented with precision, Resolution Games has tapped legendary story designer Matt Sernett as the project’s narrative lead. Sernett previously worked as a designer of the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop game and contributed to Dungeons & Dragons video games including Baldur’s Gate, Baldur’s Gate II, and Icewind Dale. He has also provided narrative contributions to Destiny 2. 

“When Dungeons & Dragons launched fifth edition back in 2014, the first adventure that many players went on ventured into Neverwinter Wood, and I can think of no place better for Battlemarked players to begin their journey,” said Sernett. “The first adventure in Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked will take players to familiar locations including Cragmaw Castle and Mount Hotenow. The world of D&D is just as much a part of the story as its characters, and we can’t wait for players to immerse themselves in its dangers and delights.” 

Resolution Games has revealed that the Battlemarked will be playable on Steam and PS5, with a VR version available on PlayStation VR2, Steam VR and Meta Quest 3 line of devices. More details about the exact launch date, additional platforms as well as the first details of Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked’s second adventure, which will be included at launch, will be revealed later this year. Resolution Games will also release a series of developer diaries in the coming months that delve deep behind-the-scenes to reveal more of the world, writing, and how core D&D elements have been translated to the Demeo system.

Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked is in development for PC/VR (Steam), PS5/VR 2 and Meta Quest 3, scheduled for late 2025.
