Former Dragon Age producer Christian Dailey has announced a new studio at D&D publisher Wizards of the Coast called Skeleton Key, which is at work on a triple-A horror game.

"Very excited to announce that we've started a new AAA game studio with the amazing folks at Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast," Dailey says in a tweet. "It's early days right now at Skeleton Key, but looking forward to sharing more soon. Please keep a lookout and check our open roles!"

The official site notes that the studio's "mission is to create immersive gameplay, unique stories, and thought-provoking moments of suspense and horror that guide players to have fun while facing their fears," and job listings make it clear that this will, indeed, be a horror game.

While job listings often provide a few clues about what to expect from games early in production, there aren't many details here - though the cinematics director position does indicate that you can expect cinematic cutscenes with motion-captured characters.
