Hasbro Cancels Dungeons & Dragons Game from Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Director

The company said it will not pursue an early concept from Giant Skull, though it praised Stig Asmussen and his team.

  • Bloomberg reported today that Hasbro cancelled a new Dungeons & Dragons game from Stig Asmussen, the director behind God of War and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, after reviewing early concepts from developer Giant Skull.
  • Announced last June as an action/adventure title, the project represented Asmussen's first major undertaking since leaving Respawn Entertainment in 2023 to found Giant Skull after directing two successful Star Wars Jedi games.
  • Hasbro told Bloomberg it decided not to pursue the early concept from Giant Skull, though a company spokesperson expressed respect for Asmussen and stated the firm values their ongoing relationship.
  • Despite the cancellation, Asmussen remains optimistic, saying that "things are good at Giant Skull" and exploring opportunities with Wizards of the Coast and other publishers.
  • Wizards of the Coast is preparing to release the sci-fi game Exodus in 2027, expected to be a notable release next year, while a third Star Wars Jedi game remains in development.
