An official Dungeons and Dragons VR game is in the works from the makers of Demeo
Regardless of which one of the best VR headsets on the market you’ve got, be it dedicated to PC VR games or not, you’ve likely ran across Demeo. This MR game can be described as a VR classic nowadays, allowing you quick and easy access to some tabletop action.

But here’s the thing: I seriously doubt that anyone who has ever tried Demeo hasn't also gotten strong Dungeons and Dragons vibes almost instantly. And I don’t think that Resolution Games is shying away from the fact that the pen-and-paper RPG has had a huge influence on its own tabletop creation.

So, one could say that if Resolution was to create an actual Dungeons & Dragons game, that would not only be a dream come true for the studio, but also a match made in heaven for VR enthusiasts and Demeo fans, right?

Well, guess what? We can actually say that now!

This showcase of Demeo gameplay in mixed-reality can give you some idea of what you're in for with this upcoming D&D game.

At this time, there aren’t many details to discuss. We know that this collab between Demeo’s developers and Wizards of the Coast is happening, which is enough of a reason to celebrate.

Here’s what Resolution’s CEO has to say on the matter:


See? I told you that this team was huge on DND!

So, then there are two major questions that are worth pondering over:

  • Could we expect this experience to have a non-VR counterpart like Demeo too?
  • Can Resolution break the curse of mediocre Dungeons & Dragons video games?

Okay then. Demeo? Has a PC port, but not only in VR: in regular format too. This is awesome not only because it makes the game more accessible, but also because it allows your non-VR-crazed friends to join you on your tabletop adventures. Makes total sense for a social experience, right?

But then, the big one… Can we stop pretending like this is any sort of secret? For how huge D&D is, the amount of high quality, proper video game adaptations that the system has seen are… Negligible, to say the least. So that’s worrying.

But then again, Resolution has shown some real skill when it comes to game design. Demeo is not only a blast to play: it’s quite impressive on a technical level. So, given this team’s passion, roots and capabilities, can we expect this upcoming D&D VR game to be a hit?

Well, if you ask me, there is no other team, capable of pulling this off, especially when it comes to VR.
