During the event, Wizards of the Coast confirmed that the game’s protagonist’s patron is Tasha. For those unfamiliar with Dungeons and Dragons rules and lore, the Warlock class gets their power through a pact with a powerful patron. Unlike wizards who learn magic from books or sorcerers who have innate power, warlocks get all of their magic power thranks to their relationship with their patron.
Fans of Tasha got a double reveal at Gen Con: her role in the upcoming Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons video game was confirmed, with award-winning actor Maggie Robertson stepping into the role through voice and performance capture, opposite Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica, Lucifer), who leads the game as Kaatri.
Tasha is an incredibly popular figure inDungeons and Dragons lore and fans of the TTRPG will likely be very excited to learn that she is going to play a key role in the Warlock: Dungeons and Dragons story. It will be very interesting to see how good or evil the version of Tasha that appears in the game ends up being. It’s not unusual for warlocks to have conflict with their patron and that trope could help inspire some interesting story beats throughout the game’s narrative.
For those who are unfamiliar with the upcoming game, Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons is an original third-person, single-player action-adventure game set in a dark fantasy open world inspired by Dungeons & Dragons. Developed by Invoke Studios, the game casts players as Kaatri, a veteran warrior who makes a pact to wield otherworldly magic against dark powers.
