D&D Publisher Wizards Of The Coast Cancels "At Least Five" Video Games

Hasbro’s Wizards of the Coast–the brand behind Dungeons & Dragons as well as Magic: The Gathering–has canceled at least five unannounced video games, according to a new report from Bloomberg. The move would appear to signal that Wizards of the Coasts is rethinking its wider approach to digital gaming, even as its most notable upcoming entry, Baldur’s Gate 3, approaches completion.

A Wizards of the Coast spokesman told Bloomberg that fewer than 15 people at the company would lose their jobs due to the decision, and that they will be have the chance to apply for different roles. However, it’s unclear how much of an impact the cuts will have on developers like Otherside Entertainment (Underworld Ascendant) or Hidden Path Entertainment (Defense Grid), two of the studios working on the projects.
