Starbreeze, the studio behind the co-op first person shooter series Payday, has announced a new, officially licensed Dungeons & Dragons game.
Details are a bit thin at the moment, but we do know from a press release that the game, currently codenamed Project Baxter, is a co-op action adventure game “based on the D&D IP.”
Likewise, the developer says it’ll focus on a “lifetime commitment through a Games as a Service-model, community engagement and a larger than life experience.”
Two images of Project Baxter have been revealed, one a close-up of a pretty typical D&D-esque town with lots of pointed towers, and another showing a character holding a staff. Check ‘em out:
