Wizards of the Coast – A Hasbro Subsidiary

Wizards of the Coast Announces Cancelation of Video Game Projects
Wizards of the Coast recently made the highly disappointing announcement that no less than five of its video game projects have been canceled. This announcement went a long way in killing all hopes that their very loyal fans have harbored for quite a while now.
Last day at BioWare. Thank you to my friends and teammates for being amazing people with crazy talent, making some crazy cool games. #Anthem and #DragonAge please follow my friends @CorinneBusche @eplerjc @macwalterslives for all the latest and greatest 💜 Cheering for you… 💜

In addition to the cancellation of the video game projects, Bloomberg reports that in order to implement its new gaming strategy for its products, Wizards of the Coast will be laying off up to 15 of its employees.
Is Baldur’s Gate 3 in Danger of being Shelved?
It is unclear how this new decision will affect future projects, as Baldur’s Gate 3, the only major upcoming game based on a Wizards of the Coast franchise, is still in active development and available for early access release.
It must be said that Wizards of the Coast never confirmed the rumored cancellations of any particular video game project, albeit their last major release was 2021’s Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance.
There’s being a hush-now directive from the company, as the Wizards of the Coast development team have refused offering any comments on the “rumors”. However, we are determined to update you on recent developments as they unfold.
