D&D wants VR chess and idle clickers to lead to something bigger (update)

Today, Wizards of the Coast announced the next Dungeons & Dragons video game, Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms, a clicker game from Codename Entertainment. It is launching sometime in summer or early fall, and it’ll be on the Steam PC gaming platform.

Idle Champions is the second D&D game announced (so far) this year on the heels of Dungeon Chess, the brand’s first virtual reality experience. Along with steady expansions and additions to Neverwinter (the Forgotten Realms-based MMORPG), we’ve also seen Sword Coast Legends (2015), Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear (2016), and Planescape: Torment Enhanced Edition (April). But that’s it when it comes to traditional D&D video games that the public knows about.
