From GameWatcher: "Starbreeze has licensed the Dungeons & Dragons IP from Wizards of the Coast to work on a video game it codenamed internally as Project Baxter, which will be developed using Unreal Engine 5.
Project Baxter is currently estimated to be released sometime in 2026, and will likely be developed for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X."

Explore the future of gaming with upcoming Unreal Engine 5 games. Discover how this groundbreaking engine is shaping next-gen titles across various genres, from stealth survival in 'Nakwon: Last Paradise' to action-packed adventures.
I’ve been waiting to be amazed since they launched it. Some beautiful games out there, but not mind blowing. Hopefully this year is better.
It's still early days, most of the games that have already been released under UE5 were started under UE4.
The devs are going to get to grips with this new engine, and come up with some great games.
I know but it’s been a minute….lol
I just remember those Gears of War, Halo, God of War holy crap moments.
My guess, the engine takes longer to optimize and more manpower to do it right.
Nxt gen, it's always the same until you actually get the OMFG new engine games. Might see some in 2026 though.
In fact, one of the biggest advances in UE5 is the 'ease' with which content can be created.
Take a look at this video from 3:50 onwards, showing how the engine automatically generates the scenery.

UE4 wasn't capable of that at this level. And the devs had to resort to all sorts of tricks to make quality procedural.
UE 5 greatly simplifies all that. In my opinion, games will take a different turn in the coming years.
We need Unreal Tournament 5. If Epic won't touch it I would rather pay fans money to make it. Lately I'm having more respect for fans of games that mod and or do total conversions than the actual devs.
Oh boy, I forgot about Unreal Tournament! Such a good idea!
Yes there is many indie solo dev that works on UE5 'remake' which are doing a great job.
Like OverJump Rally - remaster of Sega Rally 2.
And Shenmue, that is entirely remade by a dev in UE5 as well.
Welcome but living up to Baldur's Gate 3 will be a mighty task
Why Project Baxter though? Haha, that seems so random. That just makes me think of Anchorman with Will Ferrell.
Starbreeze's Riddick games on the original Xbox were exceptionally good. Looking forward to see what they can do with their new game.
That's cool. My greatest wish was a big D&D game based off of the awesome cartoon that was on Saturday morning. Never happened but a fan did make a good streets of rage side scroller game on Openbor.

Playing as Hank or any of the characters with friends would have been awesome. Let's see what they do with the license.
