Resolution Games dropped a little gem today, revealing this first sneak peek at their new Dungeons & Dragons-themed spin on Demeo. I mean, they announced it way back in January, right? But now they finally gave us more than just promises, like a quick look at the gameplay, worlds, and probably a few hidden Easter eggs. You think you know what’s coming, but do you? Maybe.
So, it looks like they’re sticking to their guns—or swords or whatever—with the same style. You team up with a few buddies (or, you know, strangers) and dive into dungeons packed with monsters. Unlimited fun. It’s all in VR, obviously—or not, because there’s the flatscreen option too for the non-VR crowd.
And hey, if you haven’t played Demeo before—well, here’s a crash course: it’s this fast-paced, turn-based tabletop RPG. You roam around grid dungeons, smack at enemies, all with a simple die. This new version, Battlemarked, doesn’t stray far from that formula. You’ve got this die with three crucial faces: sword (you hit), double swords (hello, crit hit!), and the dreaded skull (oof, critical fail). Toss in some action cards for flavor, and you’ve got yourself quite the menu of attacks and defenses.
Keeping it flexible, right? You can play it on your PC, PS5, or go VR if you’ve got one of those fancy headsets like the Quest 3 or PSVR 2. Oh yeah, and it’s hitting us late 2025. Mark your calendar—with a pencil, because who knows these things?
They’re promising a real dip into the D&D vibes, with Matt Sernett—yes, that Matt Sernett—as the narrative lead. If you know your D&D history, you’ll recognize him from games like Baldur’s Gate (which, let’s face it, was iconic) and Icewind Dale. So, I’d say expectations are kinda high?
Anyway, if you’re hyped (or maybe just curious), you can add Demeo x DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: Battlemarked to your wishlist on basically every platform—Horizon Store, PlayStation Store, Steam—name your poison.
That’s about it for now. Keep your eyes peeled for more deets because they said more are coming. Until then, may your dice rolls be ever in your favor—or whatever.
