Dungeons & Dragons might not have another Baldur’s Gate 3 on the horizon, but the next video game based on the TTRPG is almost here. Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked merges Demeo‘s tactical gameplay with classic D&D elements, resulting in a digital experience that retains many tabletop hallmarks.

Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked will arrive on November 20, 2025, as revealed in a new trailer on the Resolution Games YouTube channel. Previously, the game was simply marked for a late 2025 release. A Steam Next Fest demo will be available from October 13 to 20, and players who participate in the demo will unlock dice skins for the full release.

D&D: Battlemarked Remixes The Demeo Formula

A New Take On Tactics Arrives In November

While many D&D players might not be aware of Demeo, a lot of Demeo players are fans of D&D. The original game thrust parties of up to four players into classic dungeon crawls, with each adventure taking on a similar format to an old-school D&D module.

Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked will incorporate D&D inspiration more directly, featuring elements like a 20-sided die and an adventure set in Neverwinter Wood. Unlike D&D, the turn-based combat system incorporates cards, but it shouldn’t be hard to pick up for any veterans of TTRPG battle tactics.

The other big selling point is that Battlemarked will be available in VR for SteamVR, Meta Quest 2, and PlayStation VR2. A VR headset is very much optional, but for enthusiasts, it could capture a more authentic sense of sitting around the game table.

Battlemarked Is Dodging D&D Game Cancellations

One Bright Spot This Year

I’ve been let down once this year by D&D‘s downscaling of Project Sigil’s development, which put an early end to a promising 3D tabletop experience. The news of Battlemarked‘s release date also comes alongside the cancellation of Project Baxter, a D&D game from Starbreeze.

Amid these disappointments, it’s nice to have a D&D game make it to the finish line. I’m not a Demeo veteran, so I’m not yet sure whether I’ll fall in love with Battlemarked, but I’m certainly willing to give it a try.

At any rate, partnerships like Demeo could be a solid bet to build up a robust future of Dungeons & Dragons games, which seems to be a priority for Hasbro. While I’d like to see more swings as audacious as Baldur’s Gate 3, that kind of ambition is difficult to replicate. In the meantime, a bit of pick-up-and-play dungeon crawling action might just do the trick.
