One year on from the launch of Baldur’s Gate 3, Hasbro and its Wizards of the Coast subsidiary are leaning on video games even harder — and the two companies are believe there’s room in almost every genre for its wealth of IP.
Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz at Gamescom in Cologne, senior vice president of digital licensing Eugene Evans said that, while Larian Studios’ blockbuster RPG has been a massive boost to the company, the IP owner is exploring for Dungeons & Dragons and Magic The Gathering — Hasbro’s biggest IP in terms of revenue — beyond licensing further AAA games.
“We do have AAA games that are in development,” he says. “We’ve announced some of the partnerships that we have with the likes of Starbreeze and Gameloft to build D&D games. I’ll leave it to your imagination where they might take that.
