Former Star Wars Jedi director Stig Asmussen’s independent AAA studio Giant Skull was formally unveiled last March, with the developer confirming at the time that it was working on a AAA single-player action-adventure title developed on Unreal Engine 5. Now we know a little bit more about what the game will be.
It has been announced that Giant Skull has partnered with Wizards of the Coast to develop an action-adventure title based on Dungeons and Dragons. Work on the AAA single-player title is underway, though further details on the game, what exactly players can expect from it, or when more will be unveiled are currently scarce. The game is in development for PC and consoles.
Giant Skull CEO and former Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and God of War 3 director Stig Asmussen said, “Our talented and experienced team at Giant Skull is built on creativity and curiosity,” said Stig Asmussen, CEO, Giant Skull. “Our goal is to craft a rich new Dungeons and Dragons universe filled with immersive storytelling, heroic combat and exhilarating traversal that players will fully embrace.”
President of Wizards of the Coast and digital gaming at Hasbro John Hight said, “Stig and the team at Giant Skull are exactly the type of exceptionally talented creators we want to work with, and I’m so happy to be reuniting with him on this new project. In our time working together on God of War I got to see firsthand Stig’s artistry and expertise, and he and the Giant Skull team are the perfect fit for our new game. Worldbuilding and storytelling is in our DNA, and this collaboration reflects our evolution and commitment to our Playing to Win Strategy, building a stronger presence in digital play. We look forward to revealing more about this brand-new Dungeons and Dragons game in the future.”
Stay tuned for more details on the project in the coming months and years.
