Sure, let’s dive in.

So, here we are again, talking about Demeo. If you’ve ever played Dungeons and Dragons (DnD), Demeo probably hit you right in the nostalgia buttons. You know, it’s like they took a big, juicy slice of DnD and plopped it into your PC or VR headset. And yeah, nobody’s calling it official, but come on — it’s like trying to deny a cat is a cat.

This year — or maybe next? — anyway, soon-ish, they’re finally blending the two together with this new thing: Demeo Dungeons and Dragons Battlemarked. Saw a sneak peek recently, and, man, it’s kind of what you’d expect if you know their style. It’s got that classic Demeo vibe — think digital board game meets DnD. Perfect, right?

So let’s talk details (or deets, as the cool kids say). The game’s got those gorgeous board-game worlds, and if you’ve been down the DnD rabbit hole, you’ll recognize some places. They’ve got these cute little miniature dudes for characters. I mean, cute if you’re not the one getting whacked by them. The combat’s all about using your noggin and teaming up with pals. No dungeon master here, folks — it’s a DIY chaos kind of thing.

The lore’s beefed up too. It’s like they realized people actually care about stories (who knew?), so they added cutscenes and deeper dialogues. Tommy Palm — he’s the big boss over at Resolution Games — spilled the beans about adding more storytelling. Yep, that’s right, they’ve gone full-on dramatic. Might even need tissues.

And get this, they roped in Matt Sernett, one of the OGs from the DnD universe. So, if you’re the type who’s all about legit storytelling, fear not — they’ve got the experts in the house.

For those with VR bug eyes, you’re in luck. DnD Battlemarked’s set for the VR stage too, but hey, it’s also hitting Steam and PS5 for those who like to keep it classic.

Coming late 2025, they say. So mark your calendars, or not. It’s not like there aren’t a gazillion other things to get hyped about. Still, might be worth the wait. Somehow.
