Payday studio Starbreeze is making a Dungeons and Dragons live service game

Naughty Dog has confirmed that it has stopped development on its multiplayer The Last of Us title — known as The Last of Us Online — after concerns that it would impact the studio’s future single-player games. 

Naughty Dog has announced that it has officially ended development on The Last of Us Online, with the studio explaining that the decision was made so it could continue to focus on crafting the narrative-driven single player experiences it’s known for. And interestingly enough, it turns out there are more than one of those games in development at Naughty Dog right now.

NVIDIA just announced the latest round of additions to the GeForce NOW cloud library for the current week. The list of 13 PC games is led by Microsoft's Forza Horizon 4 & 5 and Minecraft Dungeons.

Earlier this week, The Day Before launched its early access lauch to near universally negative reviews, quickly landing itself a spot among Steam's 10 worst reviewed games list. Now, just after announcing its closure a few hours ago, studio FNTASTIC has removed the purchase button on the game's Steam page and is now seemingly wiping its presence from the internet.

Developer Starbreeze has announced a new game, codenamed Project Baxter, a cooperative multiplayer game presumably in the style of its PAYDAY series. Further, Starbreeze has managed to snag the official Dungeons & Dragons branding. However, we don't expect the studio to treat the RPG setting as reverently as Larian recently did with Baldur's Gate 3.

Payday 3 developer Starbreeze Entertainment is developing a co-op multiplayer Dungeons & Dragons game. 

Insurgency developer New World Interactive are the latest Embracer Group-owned studio to lay off staff, as part of the Swedish conglomerate's efforts to reduce their debts after a series of reckless studio acquisitions. It's not clear how many people have been affected, but New World Interactive's direct corporate parent Saber Interactive have revealed that one unannounced project has been cancelled.

Dungeons and Dragons will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2024. That's right, people have been meeting up to roleplay D&D's fantasy adventures together for almost half a century. Pretty incredible, and there will likely be a few ways that milestone is marked throughout 2024. We already know one of the ways D&D's creators plan to celebrate. By teaming up with the US Postal Service to launch a line of stamps, each of which will depict a famous image from a point in D&D's history.

PayDay 3 developers Starbreeze have announced a new game based on the Dungeons & Dragons IP. The title, currently codenamed Project Baxter, will launch in 2026 on all major platforms and is being built with the Unreal 5 engine.

If you've ever thought to yourself that the Payday games are great but they'd be even better if they replaced the guns and bank vaults with swords, spells, and treasure chests, Starbreeze Studios has some oddly-specific good news. Its next big project is a «co-operative multiplayer» game set in the fantasy RPG world of Dungeons and Dragons.

Today, Starbreeze announced it has partnered with Wizards of the Coast to create a Dungeons and Dragons cooperative game. The title, powered by Unreal Engine 5 technology, will be released in 2026 on all major platforms (which likely means PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X, and possibly even Nintendo Switch 2) with cross-play functionality.

Starbreeze Entertainment is working on a new action-adventure game based on Wizards of the Coast’s Dungeons and Dragons property. Codenamed Project Baxter, it will launch in 2026 for “all major platforms” with cross-play. Check out the first two pieces of concept art below.
