Leaked footage of "paused" Dungeons & Dragons RPG shows the thing doing a thing with the stuff

Those things bash ever beryllium doing things with that pesky stuff

Some footage from a reportedly cancelled Dungeons and Dragons RPG from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive co-developers Hidden Path Entertainment has surfaced online, alongside conception art.

All of it paints a vague representation of a work-in-progress crippled - which was being assembled nether the watchful oculus of a Wizards of the Coast that's presently facing a post-Larian Baldur's Gate conundrum - that looked a spot similar a clump of the large phantasy RPGs we've gotten successful caller years.

If you request a speedy refresher, this unannounnced Hidden Path D&D crippled was reported arsenic having been cancelled alongside a clump of different worldly astatine WoTC backmost successful 2023, lone for the workplace to past refute that reporting. Then, past year, Hidden Path originative manager Michael Austin posted connected LinkedIn that they had made the telephone to "pause improvement connected that task and trim the institution size until we person an accidental to instrumentality to it". 44 devs mislaid their jobs.

Now, this footage (via MP1st) has travel out, and looks to person been enactment unneurotic by a euphony supervisor connected the game, which was codenamed Project Dante. It shows disconnected a enactment of 3 adventurers, made up of the subordinate and 2 companions, putting a clump of bandits to the sword successful 3rd idiosyncratic combat that looks rather Dragon Age: The Veilguardy to me.

They past bash immoderate puzzles to get the magical h2o flowing astatine a temple, research a bit, and towards the extremity things get beauteous cutsceney with a radical of folks chilling successful a tavern, earlier ending with the subordinate sneakily watching a radical of NPCs sing portion crouching successful immoderate grass. I anticipation they astatine slightest tossed the crooning unit a coin arsenic a extremity aft taking that past spot in.

Overall, not overmuch sticks retired to maine arsenic beyond what you mightiness expect from a large phantasy RPG similar this, though the conception creation does person a precise bully representation of a flying cat, oregon a Tressym to springiness the furry boi its due name.

Well, I accidental that, but portion the temple puzzling's going connected 1 of the companions - named Kavar - does accidental the enactment "The happening is starting to bash a happening with the stuff". It's not truly noteworthy, possibly a tiny spot eye-roll inducing, but I got a footwear retired of it.

If this D&D RPG had made it to merchandise alternatively than that paused/cancelled limbo, I could spot myself quoting it to mates successful a manner I'm definite they wouldn't find irritating whatsoever.
