Hasbro scales back gaming push after $56M loss; some projects spared

Hasbro is reducing its video game ambitions following a $56 million loss tied to heavy investment during the Baldur's Gate 3 era. The company — which planned in 2022 to grow into a major games publisher — has cancelled several projects and cut developer roles. Certain titles, including Warlock and the Mass Effect-like Exodus, are reported to be continuing. Hasbro remains owner of Wizards of the Coast and its IP-driven game strategy is being reassessed.

• $56M loss prompted strategic pullback
• 2022 plan to become major publisher scaled back
• Multiple projects cancelled and developer layoffs reported
• Warlock and Exodus reportedly still in development
