Invoke Studios revealed gameplay for Warlock, a single-player, third-person Dungeons & Dragons action-adventure set beyond the Mists of Darkon in the Domains of Dread. Players control Kaatri and make a pact with the warlock Taasha to wield sinister, expressive magic and engage in melee combat without dice-roll mechanics. The studio is expanding the D&D monster manual and spell list with new creatures, reimagined spells, and systems that let players manipulate elements and the environment for tactical advantage.
