Renton, WA and Montreal, QC – August 25, 2026 — Wizards of the Coast, a subsidiary of Hasbro Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), today unveiled the first gameplay for Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons, an original third person single-player action-adventure game. Warlock is set in a dark fantasy open world inspired by Dungeons & Dragons where magic is a tool that players will use creatively across systemic combat and exploration. Developed by Invoke Studios, the game places players in the role of Kaatri, a veteran weapons master who makes a pact to wield otherworldly magic against dark powers. The role of Kaatri is performed by the award-winning Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica, Lucifer). Warlock empowers players to use magic to overcome a wide range of challenges. In exploration, every spell is a key that unlocks new paths and possibilities in a beautiful yet unsettling world. When facing enemies, magic and melee combine for a combat experience that is both tactical and visceral.
The Warlock gameplay reveal gives players an extended look at the upcoming game, starting off by revealing a brand-new character: Tasha. Maggie Robertson plays the role of Tasha, who acts as Kaatri’s patron and source of power. Tasha teaches Kaatri to sense Raw Magic, power hidden throughout Darkon that lets her expand and transform her magical ability.
From there, the reveal brings Warlock’s core promise to life, showing how magic allows players to read, reshape and ultimately master the world around them. Kaatri turns the environment, enemy positioning and even the weather into tactical opportunities, chaining spells together before capitalizing with her skill as a seasoned weapons master. The result is a fluid, systems-driven approach to exploration and combat, where observation and experimentation can uncover new paths, create unexpected solutions and produce spectacular combinations.
Warlock is currently in development for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X | S and is scheduled to release in 2027.
