I just saw this on the Atari boards, about a week old now. Posted by "Grok" who is a public relations person for Atari :
He goes on :
The page is here :
This looks like one to keep an eye open for, eh?
I'm a big fan of everything D&D related (Oh really Jamski
) so even though its Atari developing this, it could be worth watching out for.
BTW, is that you that posts on there sometimes Grumbold?

Thank you for taking my rather obvious bait!
I expect to have an official announcement about the first title out in the next week or two. However, this is a console game and very unlike Temple, NWN, BG, etc. That said, it is absolutely fantastic -- so if you own a PS2 or Xbox you'll want ot keep an eye out for this one.
We'll also be announcing a new D&D title in May. Solid developer but not a RPG. More details to come then.
D&D Online -- this one has been announced and is being handled by the fine folks at Turbine. We'll be showing this game off for the first time in August of this year in Mexico!
There are however, two tentative annoucements we're planning for E3 that should be very big and just what you folks are looking for. I'm a big RPG geek myself and I'm excited...so that tells you something.
We've also got some new NWN stuff in the works that should be pretty cool.
So, lots of D&D goodness in the future.

Some clarification:
The non-RPG game is very much a D&D game...it's just not a RPG (role-playing game). If I tell you what it is, then I'll lessen the impact of the announcement when we make it. It will be PC only.
As a franchise, D&D titles remain predominantly PC, but we are certainly trying to push more of them to console where it makes sense.
We've certainly considered hack-n-slash titles like Diablo, but it's tough to compete with the king -- I still play it occasionally to this day. Not to mention, we're not terribly interested in developing "me too" products.
We're working on new things for the already existing NWN and, of course...oh I better shut up. ;-)

from me. I think Warlords style with persistant heros would be good.
