Resolution Games has announced Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked, a new take on the classic tabletop RPG for XR devices. The upcoming game is being developed in collaboration with Wizards of the Coast and will support 4-player co-op.
D&D: Battlemarked will adopt a DM-less system, ensuring all participants are equally immersed and engaged with the game. It focuses on social strategy and communication just like the real tabletop game.

“By leveraging the power of the Demeo system, Resolution Games is able to take a different approach to Dungeons & Dragons by putting the emphasis on fast turn-based combat and pick-up-and-play mechanics,” said Eugene Evans, SVP of Digital Strategy & Licensing at Wizards of the Coast.
“Battlemarked continues Hasbro’s strategy to leverage our extensive catalog of world class IP to create digital games through licensing and internal studio development. By partnering with the best developers in the industry we can deliver new games and innovative experiences across all platforms for our fans to enjoy.”
D&D: Battlemarked will launch with two story-based campaigns at launch, with more to come later. The additional campaigns will be set in different D&D settings.
“With the launch of Demeo back in 2021, we began to grow an incredible relationship with the D&D player community,” said Tommy Palm, founder and CEO of Resolution Games.
“Demeo and Demeo Battles quickly became a game night substitute for Dungeon Masters who wanted an out-of-campaign way to have fun with their groups, and for D&D players to introduce their friends and family to tabletop miniatures games. Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked opens up that appeal even further by adapting the classes, actions, and lore of Dungeons & Dragons to this system for all new adventures and a whole new experience built from the ground up with D&D in mind.”
Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked is in development for PC, console, and other XR devices.
