Battlemarked: VR Dungeons & Dragons Game Announced

Battlemarked: Immersive VR D&D Experience

Get ready to roll some dice in virtual reality! Wizards of the Coast and Resolution Games have finally revealed their highly anticipated VR adaptation of Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked.

A New Way to Play D&D

Built upon Resolution Games’ Demeo system, Battlemarked offers a virtual tabletop experience with turn-based combat and an action point system using playing cards. Unlike traditional D&D, it doesn’t require a Dungeon Master (DM), focusing instead on strategic gameplay and decision-making.

Key Features and Platforms

• Two story-driven campaigns for up to four players at launch.
• Availability on VR, PC, and consoles (specific devices yet to be announced, but likely similar to Demeo’s platform support: Meta Quest, Pico, SteamVR, PlayStation VR2, PlayStation 5, PC, Mac, and iPad).
• Stunning art style consistent with the familiar Wizards of the Coast aesthetic.
• Playable classes and races include a Dragonborn fighter and a Tiefling rogue, with more to be revealed.

What We Don’t Know Yet

While a trailer showcases the exciting visuals and gameplay, the launch date and price remain unannounced, along with details about the initial campaigns. Future campaigns set in different D&D settings are planned.

D&D’s Expanding Universe

Battlemarked arrives amid D&D’s surging popularity, fueled by successful series like Critical Role and Dimension 20, video games such as Baldur’s Gate 3, and the recent film Honor Among Thieves.
