Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons

Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons is a single-player third-person action adventure from Invoke Studios and Wizards of the Coast. At its center is Kaatri, an experienced warrior who gains forbidden magic through a pact with the witch Tasha. The game combines a fixed main character with open exploration, direct melee combat and spells that are used not only in combat but also for traversal and solving environmental problems.

Release is announced for 2027. An exact day or month has not been set yet. The announced release window applies to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Confirmed are PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Versions for PlayStation 4, Xbox One or Nintendo Switch have not been announced.

Warlock focuses on real-time combat from a third-person perspective. Kaatri combines melee weapons with magic and uses the same tools outside of fights. Spells can hold enemies in place, move objects, open paths or change the environment. The aim is not to prescribe a single solution: combat, exploration and problem-solving work together as one system.

Kaatri is not a freely customized avatar but a fixed protagonist with her own story. She makes a dangerous pact with Tasha to find a lost person. Invoke describes the major main story moments as set; players therefore experience the same key stages, even though the open world leaves room for their own paths. Among Kaatri's companions is the imp Skev, whose relationship with her develops over the course of the story.

The Grimoire includes cantrips, advanced spells and rituals with multiple uses. Black Tentacles hold enemies or objects in place, Cloudburst soaks targets and changes the environment, Witch Bolt benefits from conductive liquids and metals, and Mist Step serves as both a short teleport and an evasive maneuver. Other abilities such as Levitate, Fey Swap, Gust of Wind and Tasha's Binding combine combat, physics and exploration.

The setting is Darkon, an open dark fantasy realm with crumbling castles, dungeons and dangerous mists. The world is built so that magic is both a means of travel and a tool for exploration: new spells can open up access, get around obstacles or reveal hidden paths.
