While no gameplay was shown, the trailer confirmed a gameplay reveal is coming next summer, leading up to a 2027 launch. Canadian Tricia Helfer, who played EDI in the\u00a0<em>Mass Effect\u00a0<\/em>games, also came on stage to confirm she stars in the game.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WARLOCK - Teaser Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ayW7oCXggoE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Ahead of The Game Awards,\u00a0<em>MobileSyrup\u00a0<\/em>got to take part in a Q&amp;A with Invoke to learn a bit more about the game. First off, it\u2019s not an RPG like fellow <em>D&amp;D\u00a0<\/em><em>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/em>, focusing instead on delivering a third-person action-adventure experience set in an open world. Jeff Hattem, Invoke\u2019s VP of creative, says <em>Warlock<\/em> will allow players to use \u201cimmersive, expressive magic\u201d across \u201call axes of the game,\u201d including combat, exploration and puzzle-solving.<\/p>\n<p>He notes that some examples of this can be seen in the trailer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom a spell standpoint, in the teaser, you saw a couple of spells \u2014 there\u2019s black tentacles in there that you can use to kind of crowd control monsters. There\u2019s also a gust of wind spell that you\u2019re using to create some space. So it\u2019s not always about damage. It\u2019s also about the creative advantage that these spells can give you against monsters, traversing the world, solving puzzles, solving environmental challenges, and exploring the treacherous terrain,\u201d says Hattem. \u201cSo the same spells are used in different ways, and it\u2019s up to players to discover what those spell limits are and what they can do with them to their advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Invoke adds that while there are many <em>D&amp;D<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em>fans on the team, it\u2019s not trying to recreate the tabletop experience, and there are no dice-rolling mechanics \u00e0 la <em>Baldur\u2019s Gate.\u00a0<\/em>Instead, studio head Dominic Guay says the team is<em> \u201c<\/em>heavily leaning into the lore and universe of\u00a0<em>D&amp;D<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The team itself also has an impressive pedigree that draws from talents of the larger Montreal gaming industry. Both Guay and Hattem previously worked at Ubisoft on various franchises, and they note that other members of their roughly 200-person studio have worked on games in the action-adventure, open-world and immersive genres.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of story, Invoke isn\u2019t revealing much yet, with Guay simply saying that\u00a0<em>Warlock\u00a0<\/em>focuses on a \u201cpersonal and urgent\u201d quest for Katri. <em>D&amp;D\u00a0<\/em>fans will also know that a warlock has a patron, a powerful, otherworldly being who grants their powers, and Invoke teased the importance of the relationship that Katri builds with her own patron over the story. Additionally, Invoke confirmed that you\u2019ll only be controlling Katri, rather than an entire party, although they noted there will still be many other characters you\u2019ll meet besides the patron.<\/p>\n<p>While we wait for the summer 2026 gameplay reveal, Hattem suggested that fans look at the teaser more closely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mentioned about how Warlocks make a pact. There\u2019s references to that pact and magical spells, including rituals, and there are also some characters in there that have a double meaning,\u201d he said. \u201cSo that\u2019s what\u2019s interesting that people can kind of look into.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Image credit: Wizards of the Coast<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>MobileSyrup may earn a commission from purchases made via our links, which helps fund the journalism we provide free on our website.
