Resolution Games, the producers of Demeo and Demeo Battles, are developing an official Dungeons & Dragons virtual reality game.
The goal of Dungeons & Dragons is to whisk players off to a fantasy world using theater of the mind and maybe a battle map with some little painted minis. But what if a video game could do the heavy lifting and transport you to a fantasy world in a more in-depth manner than Baldur’s Gate 3 can with VR?
Unfortunately, technology isn’t quite there yet. While there are many VR headsets on the market, there are still many problems with the user experience, as well as a relatively small library of titles compared to PC and console games.
While we might not be in the D&D version of the Matrix just yet, there’s at least one fantasy VR game set in the D&D multiverse in the pipeline.
A Dungeons & Dragons VR game is in production
Demeo developer Resolution Games announced on Web Wire that the studio is making an official D&D VR video game. There’s currently no word regarding a title, release date, or platforms for the game.
Those who played Demeo won’t be too surprised by this announcement, as the game is essentially a tabletop RPG that you play in VR, where you can move the minis around and use cards like you would in many different pen-and-paper games.

“As anyone who’s played Demeo can guess, we’re incredibly huge fans of tabletop roleplaying games,” said Resolution Games CEO Tommy Palm, “They have an unparalleled power to bring people together to create shared experiences, and that’s something we’ve tried to capture, too, with nearly every release in our library.”
“DUNGEONS & DRAGONS offers one of the richest fantasy worlds ever created, and it only gets bigger with every new sourcebook and adventure. We’re beyond humbled to have the opportunity to work with such an incredible IP and look forward to sharing the first details of this new project in the future.”
The D&D VR game isn’t the only title in development based on the franchise, as the studio behind Payday 3 is making a multiplayer D&D title.
The success of Baldur’s Gate 3 may have prompted more D&D titles to be greenlit, though they’ll now be compared to one of the most beloved video games of modern times.
