Hasbroは、Giant Skullで開発中だった『ダンジョンズ＆ドラゴンズ』のシングルプレイヤー向けアクションアドベンチャーゲームの開発を中止した。映画『Star Wars ジェダイ』シリーズのディレクターであるスティグ・アスムセン氏が率いる同スタジオは、プロジェクト発表から1年足らずとなる今年初めにこの決定を伝えられた。
『ダンジョンズ＆ドラゴンズ』を擁するHasbro傘下のパブリッシャーであるWizards of the Coastは、Giant Skullによる初期段階のコンセプト開発を継続しないことを決定したと認めた。広報担当者は、同社はあらゆる段階でコンセプトを評価しており、アスムセン氏とそのチームを尊重しつつ、良好な関係を維持していると述べた。アスムセン氏はスタジオの状況は良好であり、他の企業とのパブリッシング契約を模索していると明かした。この中止決定は、約1年前にHasbroが同プロジェクトを発表した後に下されたものであり、同社が進める全社的なコスト削減の一環として行われた。
