News Summary

Montreal-based developer Invoke Studios has unveiled a new Dungeons & Dragons action-adventure game titled ‘Warlock.’ The announcement was made during The Game Awards 2025, where a cinematic teaser introduced the magician character, Katri, and showcased classic D&D creatures. Unlike traditional RPGs, ‘Warlock’ focuses on third-person action-adventure gameplay within an open world, allowing players to utilize ‘immersive, expressive magic’ for combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving. The game, set for a 2027 release, draws heavily on D&D lore without incorporating dice-rolling mechanics. Invoke Studios, comprising industry veterans from Ubisoft, plans to reveal gameplay next summer. The storyline centers on Katri’s personal quest and her relationship with a powerful patron, promising a rich narrative experience for players.
