The developer ofDisney Dreamlight Valleyis developing a new survival, life sim, and action RPG hybrid game based on Dungeons & Dragons.
On March 14, Gameloft announced it will partner with Dungeons & Dragon license holders Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro to develop a game set in the Forgotten Realms, the same world asBaldur’s Gate 3. The upcoming project is said to have “unique cooperative gameplay” and take players on an adventure where “the rich lore of this legendary franchise meets real-time survival in a unique campaign of resilience, camaraderie, and danger at nearly every turn.”
The currently unnamed project appears to be in the early stages, but the studio did share what looks like concept art which features three different characters at a camp looking at a far-off castle and a dragon in a high fantasy setting. We may have to wait a little while to find out more about this one as there’s no release window yet; we do however, know that it’s expected to launch on PC and consoles.
It’ll be interesting to see what a Forgotten Realms ‘survival life sim action RPG’ looks like. We’re imagining something like Baldur’s Gate 3 meets Animal Crossing meetsPalworld. The developer already has the life sim part down after all the work it’s done onDisneyDreamlight Valley, Disney’s answer to The Sims. Here’s hoping we get more of that with D&D flavor in this upcoming project.
This isn’t the only fantasy life sim we’ve seen recently:Merchants of Rosewallis a shopkeeper sim that takes the fantasy of Baldur’s Gate 3 and adds the relaxing life sim elements ofStardew Valley.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
