Starbreeze Entertainment has announced it has licensed the Dungeons & Dragons IP from Wizards of the Coast for use in its upcoming Project Baxter, which Starbreeze is developing and publishing.
Project Baxter is scheduled for release in 2026 and takes place in the world of Dungeons & Dragons, and will incorporate Starbreeze’s signature cooperative multiplayer shenanigans, and will importantly feature full Cross-Play support. The game is being developed using the Unreal Engine 5, and will launch on all ‘major platforms.’
Starbreeze CEO Tobias Sjogren, commented:
It is hard to imagine a better pairing than Dungeons & Dragons® and Starbreeze – both with their foundation in cooperative and community driven experiences, ‘play it your way’ and infinite replayability. When looking at prospective IPs for our future projects, Dungeons & Dragons was always at the top of our list and I’m incredibly happy to announce this license. I want to thank Wizards of the Coast for being such a great partner. Development of the game is in full swing, and we are excited to deliver an amazing Dungeons & Dragons action-adventure in 2026.
Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro’s SVP Digital Strategy and Licensing, Eugene Evans, added:
Our gaming brands, including Dungeons & Dragons, continue to attract great partners as we execute our plan to grow our digital games portfolio through licensing and development. Our collaboration with Starbreeze is a prime illustration of this strategy. Given their impressive games and passion for Dungeons & Dragons, we are confident that they will create an experience that will delight fans worldwide.
