The first look at the gameplay for Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked, the latest RPG from Resolution Games, has been released, along with a release timeframe of late 2025 and the platforms that it will be released on.
Developers of the digital tabletop excursion Demeo, Resolution Games is collaborating with Wizards of the Coast. D&D: The Virtual Reality Experience is the first-ever D&D experience in the virtual reality world. Demeo will be released on PC via Steam and PlayStation 5. It will also see virtual reality ports on PlayStation VR2, Steam VR and Meta Quest 3.
A Tactical RPG With Dungeons & Dragons Story
In Battlemarked, players enter a new Dungeons & Dragons universe through the eyes of the Demeo action role-playing system. Class D&D classes, skills, and lore are adapted to this system, which eliminates the Dungeon Master in favor of encouraging group tactical decision making. According to Resolution Games, they stress strategy and communicating within the group rather than roleplay.
Tommy Palm, the founder and CEO of Resolution Games said that although Demeo has a rich lore background, previous games focused more on tactical action than the narrative game. This Dungeons & Dragons crossover is a 50/50 blending of himself and Apex Legends, according to the writer.
Experienced Story Designers Lead the Charge
Matt Sernett is a longtime designer for Dungeons & Dragons, so he is in charge of the project’s narrative. Sernett worked on the development of various Dungeons and Dragons video games like Baldur’s Gate, Baldur’s Gate 2 and Icewind Dale. With his wealth of experience, this will bring the rich narrative of D&D within the VR world of Battlemarked.
Sernett spoke passionately about the project, beginning with the 2014 launch of Dungeons & Dragons’ fifth edition. Neverwinter Wood was mentioned as a good location for players to start their journey with “Battlemarked”. Continuity is a key theme since familiar places like Cragmaw Castle and Mount Hotenow will be part of the first adventure.
Future Adventures Await in Battlemarked
The first adventure in Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked will give players the full D&D experience — a top-down view of classic BPM settings blended with the strategic, action-based flavour of Demeo. The second adventure – which will be available at launch – will be revealed later this year.
