One new Dungeons and Dragons The RPG is being developed, according to a tweet from Hidden Path Entertainment, looking for developers to join the team.
In the tweet, Hidden Path announced that they were hiring developers to work on what they are describing as a “third-person AAA open world fantasy RPG” set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe.

We don’t know anything other than what was announced here in the tweet itself, but it’s interesting to see other game actually announced in the Dungeons and Dragons universe. THE Dungeons and Dragons universe is seen in several titles released today – including two MMORPGs in Dungeons & Dragons Online and Never winter – as well as many projects under development. Baldur’s Gate 3 has just updated its early access RPG with Druids being added, and we know that a new game set in the Icewind Dale region is being developed by Wizards of the Coast, entitled Dark Alliance.
This also occurs at a time when Wizards of the Coast is seeing massive growth for both Dungeons and Dragons and Magic: The Gathering, with both games becoming focal points for future revenue for Hasbro, the parent company of Wizards.
