Jon হাইট, president of Wizards of the Coast, admitted that he dreams of a Dungeons & Dragons MMORPG. At the same time, he noted that the traditional MMO model is outdated, and before launching the game, it is necessary to carefully consider the concept and implementation steps.
In an interview, হাইট stated that Blizzard's classic approach to MMO is no longer relevant. He added that creating a D&D MMORPG would require a consistent approach:
"First crawl, then walk, then run. We need to make sure we have the talent, technology, and plans for the project, but of course, there's a fire in my eyes — I want it to happen."
The company president clarified that he always shares this idea with the team, but realizes that the online gaming market is extremely competitive. The new MMORPG will have to compete with "eternal" hits like Fortnite, Minecraft, and World of Warcraft.
The main strength of Dungeons & Dragons could be flexibility. Wizards of the Coast needs to create a well-thought-out world and an exciting story, adapt the project to different game styles and distribution models in order to offer something truly innovative.
হাইট added:
"What will MMO be like in five or ten years? Where will players go after royal battles? It's important whether we can connect their gameplay ideas with our worlds and brands."
