The Disney Dreamlight Studio will be taking on the iconic D&D IP.
Wizards of the Coast has announced that it is licensing its Dungeons & Dragons IP to Gameloft, who will develop and publish a game based on the property. The game has been described as a “hybrid of survival, life simulation and action RPG.”
Wizards of the Coast and Gameloft announced the partnership in a press release shared with Shacknews. The game will be developed by Gameloft’s Montreal team, which is the same group that worked on Disney Dreamlight Valley and LEGO Star Wars Castaways.
