Warlock is now official: no Baldur’s Gate 3-style choices

Wizards of the Coast subsidiary Invoke Studios has now revealed Warlock, a new Dungeons & Dragons fantasy game. The big distinction is right there in the setup: this is a more linear experience, built around a fixed main campaign rather than the branching RPG structure you get in Baldur’s Gate 3 or Dragon Age.

That makes it stand out in 2026. Dominic Guay describes Warlock as a third-person, single-player action-adventure game. You follow Kaatri, a pre-written warrior who gains magic through a pact, and the story isn’t built around radically different paths or a good-versus-evil morality system.

There’s still an open world to explore in Darkon, a Ravenloft realm in the Dungeons & Dragons universe, and you can step away from the main story to roam around, fight, find encounters, and pick up side quests. Invoke Studios says those side activities can turn into “your own little adventures,” even if the main plot , relationships, identity, and endings aren’t there for you to rebuild from scratch.

If you’re looking for a Dungeons & Dragons game with authored storytelling, melee-and-spell combat, and a tighter, more cinematic structure instead of a giant choice machine, Warlock looks like one to watch. It’s in development for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with launch currently set for 2027.
