Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons Gets 8+ Minutes of New Gameplay From Wizards of the Coast

Wizards of the Coast has released an extended look at Warlock : Dungeons & Dragons, sharing more than eight minutes of gameplay for its upcoming third-person action RPG. Developed by Invoke Studios, the project asks players to step into a dark-fantasy open world as Kaatri, a warrior who has made a pact with a powerful patron to survive a demon invasion.

Warlock gameplay shows off dark fantasy, open-world exploration

The new gameplay sequence focuses on the game’s setting and core loop. Players follow Kaatri in Darkon, a foggy domain where she is guided by Tasha’s murmurs and accompanied by a sarcastic imp familiar named Cricshank. The pitch centers on tracking and harnessing “Raw Magic,” a brute force permeating the area.

• Kaatri’s journey takes her through catacombs and ancient ruins corrupted by demonic influence.
• The campaign framing blends exploration and combat, with magic presented as a tool for both navigation and encounters.

Magic as a key, spell, and combat tool

Invoke Studios is positioning Warlock : Dungeons & Dragons around an emergent style of play where spells can reshape the environment. The gameplay shown emphasizes using magic not just to cast attacks, but to interact with the world in ways that open up routes and create tactical advantage.

• Spells can remodel terrain, remove obstacles, and reveal hidden passages.
• Magic can also be used to interact with environmental and weather-like elements.
• Combat is built around alternating weapon-based skills with magical arcane abilities.
• Kaatri can use heavy melee-focused gear alongside crowd-control magic.
• The studio highlights enemy positioning and environmental exploitation to trigger chain reactions.
• Observation and experimentation are presented as central to how fights are meant to be approached.

Who’s who: Kaatri, Tasha, and the voice cast

The gameplay presentation also clarifies the character roles and the voice acting behind them. Kaatri is voiced by Tricia Helfer, while her patron—Tasha—is portrayed by Maggie Robertson. The game describes Tasha with multiple names from the Dungeons & Dragons setting, connecting her to the franchise’s demonology lore.

• Kaatri is the playable weapon-master character forming a pact with a mystic power.
• Tasha serves as Kaatri’s patron and is described through her well-known lore identities (Iggwilv, Natasha, and Zybilna).
• Tricia Helfer provides the voice for Kaatri (known for roles including Battlestar Galactica and Lucifer).
• Maggie Robertson voices Tasha (known for work including Resident Evil Village and Baldur’s Gate 3).
• Cricshank is a diabolical imp familiar accompanying Kaatri.
