A new Dungeons & Dragons game set in the Forgotten Realms universe is coming from the creators of Disney Dreamlight Valley<\/a>, publisher Gameloft has announced.<\/p>\n

The title will be developed by Dreamlight Valley developer Gameloft Montreal, and is said to feature “unique, cooperative gameplay” that will combine elements of survival games, life-simulation titles like Dreamlight Valley, and action-RPG.<\/p>\n

“Players can expect an adventure where the rich lore of this legendary franchise meets real-time survival in a unique campaign of resilience, camaraderie, and danger at nearly every turn,” according to a press release.<\/p>\n

No other details, including a release window, have been shared aside from a piece of concept art, which features a trio of adventurers looking out over a valley towards an under construction castle, with a dragon flying in the background. Gameloft Montreal executive producer Lee Kaburis said in a press release the team are all big fans of D&D, something seconded by Gameloft Montreal creative director Marc-Andre Deslongchamps.<\/p>\n

“Making friends, both on and off the table, has always been a core Dungeons & Dragons value and it is our goal, as life-long fans, to bring this experience to a different genre renowned for emergent gameplay and shared narrative that can be enjoyed both by newcomers and tabletop masters alike,” Deslongchamps said.<\/p>\n

Disney Dreamlight Valley currently sports an average review score of 70 out of 100 on Metacritic<\/a>. In GameSpot’s Disney Dreamlight Valley review<\/a>, we praised the game’s life-sim mechanics and the way it incorporates iconic Disney characters, but found its grindy progression system frustrating.<\/p>\n

A Dungeons & Dragons life-simulator isn’t the only D&D game in the works looking to break outside of the traditional RPG box the sword-and-sorcery franchise is known for. Starbreeze, the creators of the popular co-op heist shooter Payday, announced in September 2023 it’s working on a new games-as-a-service co-op title set in the D&D universe<\/a>. That game, codenamed Project Baxter, is currently slated for a 2026 release.<\/p>\n
