Hasbro, the owner of Dungeons & Dragons, is intensifying its focus on video games, driven by the success of Baldur's Gate 3, which has generated $90 million. The company is keen on continuing its collaboration with Larian Studios, the developer behind Baldur's Gate 3, amidst its aggressive investment strategy in the gaming sector. Despite facing significant cuts, Hasbro's gaming division remains largely unaffected, with around 40 projects in the pipeline, including Monopoly Go. Hasbro is also seeking the best partners worldwide to develop games across various genres. Eugene Evans, Hasbro's senior vice president of digital strategy and licensing, highlighted the importance of two core elements that any licensed Dungeons & Dragons game must incorporate. Additionally, Baldur's Gate 3 allowed Karlach's actor to subvert the 'disappointing' RPG romance tropes found in Mass Effect and Dragon's Age.
