Warlock: D&D Gameplay Trailer Highlights Kaatri's Magic and Darkon's Perils

Invoke Studios' upcoming open-world action-adventure game Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons received a detailed gameplay showcase at gamescom. The footage follows protagonist Kaatri as she uses her Warlock's Eye to locate Raw Magic and explores the unstable Domain of Dread known as Darkon. Combat emphasizes environmental interaction, including a new cantrip called Tasha's Leash that lets players pull and throw objects.

The gamescom showcase centers on Kaatri’s Warlock’s Eye, an ability that reveals Raw Magic and drives both spell discovery and upgrades. Her journey through Darkon, a crumbling Domain of Dread, includes the settlement Crickshank, where an underground ossuary hides a mystery. New spells demonstrated include Tasha’s Leash, a cantrip for pulling or throwing objects, and Fey Switch, which swaps positions with enemies. Environmental tactics extend to weather, as the Downpour Ritual creates puddles that conduct Witch Bolt’s electricity. Pact of the Blade lets Kaatri summon melee weapons, blending magic and physical combat.
