Wizards Of The Coast have been licensing out the D&D Forgotten Realms setting to video game developers for decades, most notably with theNeverwinter NightsandBaldur’s Gateseries. They’ve invested more into publishing themselves over the last couple of years, though, and opened two new internal studios in 2022, Skeleton Key and Invoke Games. Since the cancelled projects were unannounced, there’s no word on whether these studios have been affected.
The next D&D game out in the wild should beBaldur’s Gate 3, which leaves early access in August. Wizards Of The Coast isn’t on publishing duties for Larian’s upcoming RPG, and Larian’s founder Swen Vincke was fairly confident they’d hit their publishing date whenwe spoke to himlast December.
