[Bloomberg] Hasbro’s Wizards of the Coast Cancels Video Game Projects

Yeah, it sucks to hear but... honestly I was kind of expecting it after Dark Alliance
Games like Solasta and Baldur's Gate 3 are more what I'm looking for from any DnD branded titles (And I like Solasta's grid movement implementation better than BG3's free measuring movement personally. It scratches that tabletop feel itch much better to me), so Dark Alliance wasn't going to be a purchase just off the brand power, so to speak, and then it was thoroughly mediocre.

This is probably going to be the case sadly. Won't be surprised if all these games were outsourced.
It sucks so bad for the studios involved that they haven''t got any word from Hasbro yet. This has happened so many times before, and it's a terrible business practice every single time.
I feel bad for everyone working at one of the affected studios, living in uncertainty because a major corporation has long decided they will cancel something, but will wait days or weeks to tell them. Especially if a journalist, who is only doing their job, breaks the news to them.

So, no Magic The Gathering Pokemon clone still?
Wondering what the games were, probably some RPG's or card games, pretty sure they weren't doing a fighting game based on DnD because who would even buy that?

According to one of Schreier's latest posts, both his source within the company and a spokesperson for Wizards of the Coast reconfirmed this. So yeah, that definitely seems like the case. And yes, that is a very shitty, but not unprecedented, thing to do.
All they have to do is making something like Shandalar. Was a MtG rpg, and was great. I shake my head at all the lost potential of games WotC could put out with the giant IP they own.
This is awful and I just hope the sources inside WOTC didn't get the proper information. I can't imagine finding your game is cancelled through twitter.
