Developer Hidden Path Entertainment has revealed that it's currently working on a "AAA, third-person, open-world fantasy RPG that will be taking place inside the Dungeons & Dragons franchise."
The studio, which previously worked with Valve on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and also remade Age of Empires II: HD Edition in 2013, is hiring for a selection of positions on the game, including a graphics programmer, lead graphics programmer and senior technical artist, with the title set to be built using the Unreal Engine.
There's no word yet on which platforms this game will be targeting (nor any potential release dates), but a line in the graphics programmer advertisement asks that the candidate ideally has "experience working with a console."
It'll probably be quite some time before we get any additional news on this one, but if you're a keen D&D fan, don't forget that Tuque Games' Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance is set to arrive at some point in 2021 in the meantime.

I'm excited because an open-world D&D game could be a lot of fun, but a little disappointed too because it will almost certainly be based on either the Forgotten Realms or Mystara campaign settings. And they're great campaign settings, there's no doubt about that, but we really need some modern games based on the Ravenloft, Spelljammer, Dark Sun, Al-Qadim, Dragonlance, and Ghostwalk campaign settings. There's really a lot of untapped potential in those campaign settings that could bring fresh gameplay and aesthetics to the video game industry.
@101Force Mystara is a dead realm as far as Hasbro is concerned. More then likely it will be based in either Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Ebberon or Ravenloft as those are the most popular Realms right now.
@101Force Dragonlance would be a dream come true for me, seeing as it has always been my favorite series. I've read practically all the (original) books and played most of the games.
