WARLOCK empowers players to use magic to overcome a wide range of challenges. In exploration, every spell is a key unlocking 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.

“Working with our colleagues at Wizards of the Coast on a brand as rich as D&D has given the team the creative freedom and support to build a new ambitious open-world experience for players. We’re excited to finally announce WARLOCK and looking forward to sharing gameplay details in the future,” said Dominic Guay, General Manager of Invoke.

“Warlocks wield powerful, otherworldly magic, but it always comes at a cost," said John Hight, President of Wizards of the Coast. “Invoke has crafted a world that captures the dangerous wonder at the heart of DUNGEONS & DRAGONS where players can push the limits of Kaatri’s magic and discover what lies beyond.”

Additional details, including the gameplay debut, will be revealed in summer 2026, with a planned launch in 2027. WARLOCK reinforces Wizards of the Coast’s commitment to worldbuilding and broadens their roster for upcoming AAA games, both original IP and based on established worlds.
