Wizards of the Coast and its recently acquired studio Tuque Games just recently revealed Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance, and speaking with GamesIndustry.biz, Wizards of the Coast president Chris Cocks has said we can expect plenty more in the future.

In fact, this is just one of "seven or eight" games D&D games coming over the next couple of years, although he adds that it's "all in the eye of the beholder" when talking about whether this particular one is AA or AAA.

"We want each game to have a point of view, and to really keep on just a couple of things and do it really, really well," Cocks adds. "What you don't want to do is have every game in the franchise try to do the same thing, and try to do everything all at once."

"We really don't limit people. The D&D team's job is to say 'yes' when people want to play something... The best dungeon masters tend to want to figure out how to say 'yes', and have the players do what they want to do... We want to open it up, open up the narrative possibilities, the character development, open up the level of problem solving and combat opportunities and thrills that players can be able to experience."

"In future games we will explore different areas, whether it's grand strategy and combat at army level scale, to really intimate character portrayal."

"And we're going to do it in a variety of genres... And in future games we will explore different areas, whether it's grand strategy and combat at army level scale, to really intimate character portrayal."

Dungeons & Dragons has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years, perhaps due to the fact that the kids in Stranger Things regularly play it (we doubt that's the only reason though), and we'll have to wait and see what games we'll get to expand the universe.
