D&D gets a "triple-A, third-person, open-world" RPG from CS:GO co-devs

Dungeons & Dragons has perhaps the greatest legacy of any licensed property in videogames, which makes sense, since the entire genre of RPG games traces its lineage back to the tabletop RPG. But for all the genre-defining classics that digital D&D has brought us, there hasn't really been a successful triple-A take on the property - at least, not in the modern idea of what a triple-A game looks like. Hidden Path Entertainment aims to change that.

Today, the studio announced that it's working on a "triple-A, third-person, open-world fantasy RPG that will be taking place inside the Dungeons & Dragons franchise." The news, as noted by Polygon, comes alongside a series of job listings for the project. The description for a writer position suggests that the game will feature "narrative branching" and an "ensemble cast", as well.

Hidden Path isn't necessarily the studio you'd expect to be working on a triple-A game, though the company's catalogue is strong. Hidden Path has put out the excellent Defense Grid games, and worked with Valve on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
