In June 2025, Wizards of the Coast announced a partnership with Giant Skull--the studio founded by Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and God of War III director Stig Asmussen--for a "single-player action-adventure title set in the world of Dungeons & Dragons." Unfortunately, that project has now been canceled just shy of the one-year anniversary of that announcement.

According to Bloomberg, Wizards of the Coast's parent company, Hasbro, and Giant Skull both confirmed that the untitled Dungeons & Dragons game is no longer happening.

"We assess concepts at every stage of development," said Wizards of the Coast in a statement. "While we decided not to pursue an early concept from Giant Skull, we have great respect for Stig Asmussen and his team and value our ongoing relationship." The company reportedly added t,” a spokesperson for Wizards of the Coast said, adding that it is still talking pitches from Giant Skull about new potential projects.

Asmussen told the outlet that "things are good at Giant Skull," and added that the developer is taking with other companies about future publishing deals.

Following the blockbuster success of Larian Studios' Baldur's Gate 3, Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast revealed plans to invest $1 billion in AAA game development in 2024. Since then, Hasbro has closed down Atomic Arcade, the developer of a single-player G.I. Joe game starring Snake Eyes. Last year, Starbreeze also canceled its Dungeons & Dragons game in favor of focusing on its own signature franchise, Payday.

Wizards of the Coast currently has a partnership with developer Archetype Studios for a space-opera RPG called Exodus, as well as a D&D game, Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons, coming from Invoke Studios. Warlock was unveiled at The Game Awards, and it will be a third-person action-adventure game starring a character who can utilize "immersive, expressive magic."

GTA 6’s Extended Look Trailer Seemingly Paid Off For Netflix With Massive Viewership

Netflix has confirmed(https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/top-10-august-24-2026) that GTA 6's recent "extended look" trailer(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6s-big-reveal-all-the-things-we-learned/) was the streamer's most-viewed title overall last week, drawing 31.1 million views. The trailer was labeled an "English-language film" by Netflix, and it was No. 1 by that designation in 87 of 93 regions globally that Netflix's tracks. The GTA 6 trailer was well ahead of the No. 2 title last week, which was the movie The Whisper Man, which had 23.2 million viewers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpPpqZwUwl0 Netflix's view counts cover views for each title from Monday to Sunday of the previous week. A "view" is defined by Netflix as the total hours viewed divided by the total runtime. Netflix publishes this data each Tuesday. The extended look trailer was published first on Netflix before being released on Rockstar's own YouTube channel and elsewhere six hours later. Rockstar's own video has 17 million views(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJbzMqJGH4k), but YouTube counts views differently, and that represents just one channel, as numerous other sites and sources hosted it, including here at GameSpot.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsyOVBDRgtk) Netflix called its partnership with Rockstar Games for the trailer a "first-of-its-kind"(https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/grand-theft-auto-6-extended-first-look) offering for the popular streaming platform. Netflix's stock price has crashed since its bailed out of its deal to buy Warner Bros. Discovery, and the company has undertaken numerous efforts to increase engagement and total watching time on the platform. Beyond this partnership for the GTA 6 trailer, Netflix has expanded into video podcasts. The New York Times recently reported(https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/24/business/media/amazon-youtube-netflix-streaming-platform.html) that Netflix is in discussions to add Fox One and Peacock to the platform, while it's also been reported that Netflix could add free ad-supported TV content(https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/netflix-not-launching-fast-offering-yet-1236650551/). As for GTA 6, the game launches on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Releasing Cyberpunk 2077 In Its Poor State “Was For Sure Wrong,” CD Projekt Admits🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platform

Releasing Cyberpunk 2077 In Its Poor State “Was For Sure Wrong,” CD Projekt Admits

CD Projekt Red's RPG Cyberpunk 2077 infamously launched in December 2020 in such a poor technical state that Sony took the rare move to remove it from the PlayStation Store. Thousands of people refunded the game(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/cyberpunk-2077-sold-13-7-million-copies-in-21-days-30000-people-got-refunds/1100-6490486/). CD Projekt joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski has now reflected on this, saying it "was for sure wrong" to launch the game in that state, but he pushed back against the theory that the studio did so to appease investors who wanted to see financial returns. Speaking to The Game Business(https://www.thegamebusiness.com/p/cd-projekt-red-if-you-want-a-cost), Nowakowski said COVID "was a factor" in the game's rough state at launch, because "the team was getting exhausted in a different way." He admitted there were "people outside telling us we should launch," and fans lobbied for this as well. The developers themselves also "wanted to push it out the door" because the ongoing development was "really tiring." Looking back on it, now with the benefit of hindsight, Nowakowski said, "The decision to launch was for sure wrong, period. There is no denying it." That being said, Nowakowski said, "There were no magical investors telling us, 'You have to get this out.'" Instead, he said, "It was much more complicated and psychological." !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/cyberpunk20bf82.jpg?w=636) A scene from Cyberpunk 2077. CD Projekt's fiscal years follow the calendar and end on December 31. Cyberpunk 2077 was released on December 10 in 2020, and this timing led people to wonder if the developer put the game out then instead of delaying to 2021 to meet the fiscal deadline. There is, after all, precedent for game developers pushing games out the door in a rough state to hit certain fiscal deadlines. Cyberpunk 2077 might have released in a rough technical state, but it was a smashing success at launch commercially. The game sold nearly 14 million copies right out of the gate, which made it one of the most successful RPG releases in the history of video games(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/cyberpunk-2077-sold-13-7-million-copies-in-21-days-30000-people-got-refunds/1100-6490486/). Given that success, CD Projekt Red executives got multimillion-dollar bonus payouts(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/cyberpunk-2077-dev-execs-got-huge-bonuses-despite-games-troubled-launch/1100-6490859/), while developers also took home big bonus payouts related to the game's huge success in sales. Following Cyberpunk 2077's rough launch, CD Projekt Red steadily supported the game with numerous updates and improvements over the years, culminating with a massive, game-changing 2.0 update in 2023(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/cyberpunk-2077-2-0-update-rebuilds-its-gameplay-to-make-a-fantastic-rpg/1100-6517704/) alongside the Phantom Liberty expansion. Today, the game has sold more than 40 million copies(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/cyberpunk-2077-just-hit-another-massive-sales-milestone/). In other news about Cyberpunk 2077, Microsoft just announced that the game is leaving Xbox Game Pass soon(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-game-pass-removes-cyberpunk-2077-and-9-other-games-very-soon/). Given the huge commercial success of Cyberpunk 2077, it only makes sense that CD Projekt is now making Cyberpunk 2, but it is likely still years away from release(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/cyberpunk-2-is-probably-further-away-than-you-hope/1100-6531896/). On the more immediate horizon is The Witcher 3: Remastered this year(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-witcher-3-remastered-is-adding-dozens-of-upgrades-and-it-might-be-free-for-you/), The Witcher 3's new Songs of the Past expansion in 2027(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-witcher-3-songs-of-the-past-is-a-mystery-centered-on-dandelion/), and then The Witcher 4 in 2028.(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/witcher-4-release-window-narrowed-down-to-2028/) Fans hoping to play The Witcher 1's remake might want to get comfortable(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-witcher-remake-is-waiting-on-the-witcher-4-to-continue-development).
