Wizards of the Coast has reportedly cancelled several video game projects, including several potential D&D games:
Wizards of the Coast has reportedly cancelled a number of upcoming video game projects. Bloomberg reports that the Hasbro subsidiary has cancelled five video game projects as part of an internal shift in strategy.
Bloomberg specifically cites independent studios Otherside Entertainment and Hidden Path Entertainment as being impacted by these cancellations. Hidden Path was working on a Dungeons & Dragons video game, with job postings made for the game as late as September 2022, while Otherside Entertainment was also reportedly working on a Dungeons & Dragons game.
Last year, Hasbro announced a refinement of its"Brand Blueprint" business model, which focuses on building various IPs through toys, games, and TV/movies. Hasbro plans to focus on a smaller number of brands, although Wizards of the Coast's IP Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons are both planned focuses of the coming years.
0commentsHasbro's business has taken a hit in recent months. While the company touted that Magic: The Gathering had become its first billion dollar brand, its stock price took a hit when a Bank of America analyst wrote a scathing analysis of recent changes to Magic's release strategy, noting that it could impact the long-term viability of the franchise.
