Upcoming RPG is one for Baldur's Gate 3 gamers with its party-based romp through a fantasy world

While it feels like a crying shame that Larian Studios isn't returning to the Baldur's Gate name after Baldur's Gate 3 blew expectations out of the water, at least the team is going back to yesteryear with another Divinity.

As Hasbro looks to find a new home for Baldur's Gate for the inevitable Baldur's Gate 4, there are plenty of similar games to sink our hours into. Modders continue to tinker away on Baldur's Gate 3 in hopes of giving us a reason to return, while there are plenty of homages that even extend to cosy game versions.

Wildmagic Frontiers isn't quite Baldur's Gate 3, but it's easy to see why there are comparisons here.

Follow Wildmagic Frontier on Kickstarter

Over on Kickstarter, you can check out Wildmagic Frontier for yourselves. Sky Castle explains that for the past four years, a small team has been creating this love letter to what makes tabletop gaming special.

There's been a boom in this kind of game, and a resurgence in popularity for Dungeons & Dragons in the aftermath of Baldur's Gate 3, with Wildmagic Frontier billed as a "character-driven, deck-building tactics RPG that brings the creativity and strategy of tabletop gaming into a living, playable world, right in your browser.”

As well as recruiting companions and crafting powerful cards, you're promised one-of-a-kind miniatures as you head across the realm in this tactical adventure.

Sky Castle says it's worked with professional artists who specialise in physical and 3D sculpting to build both digital backdrops and 3D dioramas.

An official partnership with Hero Forge also means you can import your miniatures directly into the game as playable heroes.

Even though the aim of Wildmagic Frontier is playing with friends and building out your party, you can also go it alone.

The initial release is browser-based, although PC and Steam versions are planned for further down the line.

Does Wildmagic Frontier have a release date?

If Wildmagic Frontier looks like it's one for you, we're told it'll be a buy-once release at launch, boasting a complete game with its own narrative and quests to complete, biomes to explore, foes to vanquish, and (obviously) friends to make.

Kickstarter backers will be given a code to access the game at no extra cost, although non-backers will have to stump up a purchase price when it goes live.

You also won't need Hero Forge, as wannabe adventurers can choose from a tonne of premade archetypes.

For those who want to import their own heroes, it should be as simple as connecting your Hero Forge account.

Wildmagic Frontier was only revealed at Gamescom 2026, and with its Kickstarter page simply saying 'coming soon', we're not expecting a release window until it hits its funding goal.

At the time of writing, the project currently has 1,352 followers and has drummed up plenty of interest.

Despite obvious concerns about how kitbashing will work if Hero Forge is implemented into Wildmagic Frontier, the idea that you can import your own creations is a big selling point here.
