**An all-new third-person D&D game is on the horizon, and it’s spellbound with potential.**

Wizards of the Coast has officially unveiled **WARLOCK: DUNGEONS & DRAGONS**, a brand-new, third-person single-player action-adventure game set in a dark fantasy open world inspired by the iconic tabletop universe. Developed by *Invoke Studios* — a first-party studio under Wizards and Hasbro — *WARLOCK* introduces players to the haunting journey of Kaatri, a warrior who sacrifices everything to wield forbidden magic.

The title is currently in development for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox, with a full gameplay reveal scheduled for summer 2026 and a planned release in 2027\. The game was announced alongside a moody and cinematic teaser trailer, giving us our first taste of the arcane, cursed world to come.

### A Pact Made in Shadows

In *WARLOCK: DUNGEONS & DRAGONS*, players step into the boots of **Kaatri**, a veteran fighter who makes a dangerous pact for otherworldly powers. This decision comes with grave consequences — the kind only a true Warlock would dare accept.

Kaatri is brought to life by acclaimed actress **Tricia Helfer**, known for her roles in *Battlestar Galactica* and *Lucifer*. Her performance includes full performance capture, promising a richly emotive protagonist shaped by both combat scars and metaphysical turmoil.

> “Warlocks wield powerful, otherworldly magic, but it always comes at a cost,” said *John Hight*, President of Wizards of the Coast.

### Magic as a Weapon and a Key

According to the official announcement, *WARLOCK* focuses heavily on the player’s ability to manipulate magic for both combat and exploration. Every spell Kaatri wields is not just a tool for destruction, but also a way to **unlock new paths**, **alter the environment**, and **reveal hidden mysteries**.

Combat in *WARLOCK* is described as a blend of melee and magic, designed to be both **tactical** and **visceral**. While many D&D-based games emphasize party-based strategies, *WARLOCK* is going all in on the **lone hero** archetype, wrapped in lore-rich storytelling and moment-to-moment action.

### A Dark D&D World to Explore

Invoke Studios is setting the stage in a dark and beautiful open world steeped in the dangerous wonder that defines the **DUNGEONS & DRAGONS** universe. From ancient ruins to magical anomalies, the world of *WARLOCK* promises to be as much a character as Kaatri herself.

> “Working with our colleagues at Wizards of the Coast on a brand as rich as D&D has given the team the creative freedom and support to build a new ambitious open-world experience for players,” said *Dominic Guay*, General Manager at Invoke Studios.

The studio behind *WARLOCK* is no stranger to high-calibre game development. **Invoke’s team features veterans from franchises like Far Cry, Watch Dogs, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Deus Ex**, bringing an impressive pedigree to this D&D adaptation.

### What Will WARLOCK Mean for Dungeons & Dragons Games?

*WARLOCK* is part of Wizards of the Coast’s renewed commitment to delivering **AAA-quality video game experiences** that go beyond traditional tabletop adaptations. While *Baldur’s Gate 3* has taken the CRPG crown and *Neverwinter* continues to thrive in the MMO space, *WARLOCK* aims to carve out its own legacy with a focus on **single-player storytelling**, **arcane lore**, and **character-driven gameplay**.

Wizards’ expanding portfolio includes studios like **Archetype Entertainment**, **Atomic Arcade**, and now **Invoke Studios**, all pushing new boundaries with D&D and original IP.
