Despite the Wizards Of The Coast connection, the team’s first game won’t involve Magic or D&D 5th edition. Rather, the game will take place in an original sci-fi world.
The development process seems to be in the very early stages, as Archetype Entertainment is still looking to fill these roles in the coming weeks:
Art Director Lead Character Artist Lead Environment Artist Lead VFX Artist Lead Gameplay Engineer Senior Gameplay Designer Senior Level Designer Gameplay Engineer Technical Animator
While Archetype puts together a standalone sci-fi RPG that “puts the player at the center of an epic personal narrative with impactful choices,” there are still multiple D&D games set to arrive soon.
We already know that Baldur’s Gate 3 and co-op action title Neverwrinter are supposed to launch later this year. Wizards Of The Coast President Chris Cocks also recently divulged that additional D&D video game adaptations are due to be announced soon.
