Dungeons & Dragons: Warlock, an upcoming video game set in the universe of the popular Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, is set to take a different approach than Baldur's Gate 3, as explained by its developers in a recent interview. While Baldur's Gate 3 is a traditional computer role-playing game (C-RPG) that allows players to create and control their own character, Warlock will be an action-oriented RPG with elements of immersive simulation, a genre known for its complex systems and player choice. The game will follow a pre-defined character named Kaatri, with a fixed story and narrative moments, rather than letting players create their own avatar. According to Dominique Guay, studio manager at Invoke Studios, "We are very clear on this. Kaatri is a character with her own story. You cannot therefore embody a 'good' or 'bad' Kaatri. The key narrative moments you will experience are pre-defined, and you will go through the same sequences as any other player." This means that while players will still make choices that affect the story, the core narrative and major events will remain the same for all players. Unlike Baldur's Gate 3, which focuses on building relationships with a group of heroes, Warlock will center on Kaatri's journey. However, players will still encounter allies who can serve as a kind of second family. One such ally is Skev, a demon who was shown in a gameplay presentation at Gamescom 2026. The gameplay experience will be more linear, emphasizing the role of a demonologist with a variety of powers that can be combined for exploration and combat. The game is expected to be released in early 2027 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. While this approach may appeal to fans of more structured storytelling, it represents a different direction from the open-ended, player-driven experience of Baldur's Gate 3.
