Wizards of the Coast Sets Up a Video Game Studio Led By Dragon Age Producer
Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons publisher Wizards of the Coast has set up a video game studio led by a former executive producer of Dragon Age.
Christian Daily, who announced his departure from BioWare in February, will be Vice President and Head of Studio for Skeleton Key, a new game development studio based in Austin, Texas, working on a AAA project.
“I’m excited to start this new adventure at the company that made a lot of my favorite toys and games,” Daily said. “Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast have had a huge impact on me. Their brand has influenced the pursuit of a lifelong career in video games. With more talented creators who share our passion. We look forward to growing the studio team together. “

Cynthia Williams, President of Wizards of the Coast and Digital Games, said the team was “excited to continue to keep track of highly talented digital game leaders, from the experience this team and the new video game studio bring to Wizards of the Coast. You will benefit greatly. The beach and Hasbro. “
Skeleton Key is one of several studios founded by Wizards of the Coast in recent years and participates in Archetype Entertainment, Atomic Arcade, Tuque Games and more. The studio didn’t reveal any further details about what it’s working on, but it’s still in its infancy, so it’s probably going to take years before something is announced.
Wizards has set up many studios, but its latest attention-grabbing game, Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance, hasn’t been well accepted. According to our review, Tuque Games has created “a bland and boring trek through repeated encounters.” Let’s hope Skeleton Key makes something more impressive.
