Resolution Games’ latest project expands the D&D universe to immersive platforms — but it won’t require a headset to enjoy the full adventure.

Gather your party and dive into epic adventures across the Forgotten Realms, where ancient rivalries, dark conspiracies, and looming evil threaten to rip Faerûn apart. With the North teetering on the brink of war, players must uncover hidden secrets, challenge fearsome foes, forge fragile alliances, and expose the masterminds behind the chaos before the realm is consumed. Prepare for fast-paced, turn-based combat that adds a whole new layer to the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) experience. Survival demands cunning, bravery, and strategic thinking at every turn.

Face sinister forces deep in the wilderness of Neverwinter Wood and stand against mighty enemies. Built on the Demeo Action RPG system, and launching with multiple adventures (with more in development), the game allows players to forge legendary bonds as they battle the looming darkness threatening the Forgotten Realms.

Classic and VR Gameplay Combined

Team up in a co-op experience supporting up to four players, or take on the challenge solo, assembling a custom party that matches your playstyle — no Dungeon Master required. Whether leading your allies or braving the dangers alone, the story unfolds through your choices. Engage in tactical, turn-based battles where every move matters. Your strategy hinges on the distinct traits of iconic D&D classes, the abilities of your companions, and your own clever thinking. Whether you play as a nimble rogue, a mighty paladin, or a powerful wizard, mastering the battlefield is key to defeating monsters, evading traps, and uncovering legendary loot.

A Narrative-Driven Experience

“While the world of Demeo is rich in lore, our past titles focused more on tactical action than on motivation or story. With Dungeons & Dragons, narrative is as important as combat, so we’ve rebalanced our approach to deliver more of that. With dramatic cutscenes, richer dialogues, and deeper player choice, Battlemarked marks the beginning of the next evolution in the Demeo action-RPG system,” wrote Tommy Palm, founder and CEO of Resolution Games, in a press release.

“When the fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons launched in 2014, many players’ first adventures took them into Neverwinter Wood, and I can’t think of a better place for Battlemarked players to begin their journey. The game’s first adventure takes players to familiar locations like Cragmaw Castle and Mount Hotenow. The world of Dungeons & Dragons is as much a part of the story as the characters themselves, and we’re excited for players to explore its dangers and delights,” added Mat Sernett, the game’s narrative lead.

Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked is set to launch later this year on PlayStation 4, PC, PlayStation VR2, and Meta Quest.
