Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons Gameplay Trailer Reveals 2027 Action-Adventure

The first gameplay trailer for Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons was unveiled during Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 25, 2026, showcasing a significant departure from the turn-based style of recent titles like Baldur's Gate 3. Developed by Invoke Studios and published by Wizards of the Coast, the game is a third-person, single-player action-adventure set in a dark fantasy open world. It is scheduled for release in 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, though an exact launch date has not been announced.

The story centers on Kaatri, a veteran warrior voiced by Tricia Helfer, who enters into a pact with the ancient and powerful archmage Tasha, also known as Iggwilv. Tasha is portrayed by Maggie Robertson, known for her role in Resident Evil Village. According to the developers, the narrative focuses deeply on Kaatri's personal quest to find someone she loves, which leads her into the grim Domain of Dread known as Darkon within the Shadowfell. The relationship between the warlock and her patron is a central theme, with Tasha described as an iconic, morally ambiguous figure who has her own agenda.
