Wizards of the Coast has officially announced a new Dungeons & Dragons game titled Warlock. This third-person action-adventure game, developed by Invoke Studios, incorporates elements of open-world and immersive sim gameplay, though it is not a sequel or spin-off of Baldur's Gate 3. Set to release in March 2027, Warlock features a female protagonist named Katri, who taps into dark magical powers to engage with iconic D&D foes. The game aims to deliver a unique gameplay experience distinct from tabletop RPG mechanics, focusing on immersive, single-player elements while leaning into established D&D lore.

What is the main premise of Warlock and when is its release date?

Warlock is a third-person action-adventure game focusing on spellcasting and exploration within the Dungeons & Dragons universe. It is scheduled for release in March 2027.

Invoke Studios, formerly known as Tuque Games, previously developed the poorly received Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance. With a team of about 180-200 members, the studio aims to reset its reputation with Warlock by employing experienced developers from major titles like Watch Dogs. Expect to see gameplay details revealed during an event next summer, building anticipation for this new entry in the D&D franchise.
