Starbreeze Unveils ‘Project Baxter’: A D&D-Inspired Action RPG

Starbreeze Studios, the Swedish game developer behind the PayDay series, has lifted the curtain on their next big project. Codenamed “Project Baxter,” this upcoming game promises to be a cooperative action RPG set in the beloved Dungeons & Dragons universe.

A Fresh Direction

Despite the rocky launch of PayDay 3, Starbreeze is still going strong. The studio has shared a tantalizing first look at their new venture, which significantly departs from their previous heist-focused titles.

Key Details:

• Setting: The Forgotten Realms universe from Dungeons & Dragons
• Genre: Cooperative action RPG
• Art Style: Stylized graphics reminiscent of animated shows like Arcane

First Glimpse

The studio released a screenshot and concept art, giving fans a peek into the game’s visual direction. The image showcases a luxurious but abandoned mansion, complete with:

• Broken columns
• Wooden barricades near the door
• Signs of a recent battle

This atmospheric scene hints at the adventures players might encounter in the game’s fantastical world.

What’s Next?

While details remain scarce, the shift to a D&D-based game represents a new chapter for Starbreeze. Fans of both action RPGs and the rich lore of Dungeons & Dragons will eagerly await more information about “Project Baxter” as development progresses.

As the studio continues to work on this ambitious project, gamers can expect more reveals in the coming months. Will Starbreeze’s take on the Forgotten Realms captivate players as much as their heist adventures did? Only time will tell.

Stay tuned for updates on this intriguing blend of cooperative gameplay and fantasy role-playing.
