Resolution Games have announced Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked, a new strategy game they’re developing in cooperation with Wizards of the Coast.
Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked is in development for Windows PC, unspecified consoles, and extended reality devices. A release date wasn’t confirmed.
“By leveraging the power of the Demeo system, Resolution Games is able to take a different approach to Dungeons & Dragons by putting the emphasis on fast turn-based combat and pick-up-and-play mechanics,” said Eugene Evans, SVP of Digital Strategy & Licensing at Wizards of the Coast. “BATTLEMARKED continues Hasbroʼs strategy to leverage our extensive catalog of world class IP to create digital games through licensing and internal studio development. By partnering with the best developers in the industry we can deliver new games and innovative experiences across all platforms for our fans to enjoy.”
Resolution Games founder and CEO Tommy Palm added, “With the launch of Demeo back in 2021, we began to grow an incredible relationship with the D&D player community. Demeo and Demeo Battles quickly became a game night substitute for Dungeon Masters who wanted an out-of-campaign way to have fun with their groups, and for D&D players to introduce their friends and family to tabletop miniatures games. DEMEO X DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: BATTLEMARKED opens up that appeal even further by adapting the classes, actions, and lore of Dungeons & Dragons to this system for all new adventures and a whole new experience built from the ground up with D&D in mind.”
Here’s a brief blurb on the game, plus its reveal trailer:
Assemble your party and get ready to embark on an epic journey in the Dungeons & Dragons universe! Gather your friends for an unforgettable adventure that will blend classic D&D excitement with fast-paced tactical action. Built on the award-winning Demeo Action Role Playing System, Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked will make everyone from D&D newcomers to seasoned wizards and warriors feel like a hero.
Battlemarked is a DM-less system that focuses on social strategy rather than social roleplay, encouraging group tabletalk focused on tactics and decision-making. With cross-platform support for up to four players co-operatively, Battlemarked will feature two story-based campaigns at launch with additional campaigns in different D&D settings planned as downloadable content in the future. It will be available on multiple platforms including PC, console and XR devices.
