Yet another D&D game has been cancelled

Stig Asmussen, the director behind Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, has had his next game project cancelled. Asmussen left EA shortly after finishing Jedi Survivor to form a new studio to work on a new D&D game, but Wizards of the Coast just scrapped it. 

Asmussen's new studio, Giant Skull, had announced their D&D project last year, but Wizards of the Coast has now “decided not to move forward” with the project, as reported by Bloomberg. It is the second D&D game to be cancelled since the success of Baldur's Gate 3, with the other being Project Baxter, which was being worked on by Starbreeze.

While Giant Skull's D&D game will no longer be made, Wizards of the Coast is still supporting other game projects, including Warlock: Dungeons and Dragons, which was announced at The Game Awards last year.

It is unclear what Giant Skull will move on to next. The studio had put around a year of work into this D&D game concept, and now they will have to start over with something else.

KitGuru Says: Considering the popularity of D&D right now, and the success of Baldur's Gate 3, it is surprising to see new D&D projects being cancelled so quickly.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
