Wasn't Sword Coast Legends the last official D&D game?* It was received horribly because they tried to make it appeal to casual gamers…
And I don't even think WotC realized the problem; I think they concluded that there isn't a big enough market for singleplayer D&D video games anymore… Ugh, if someone would make a proper D&D CRPG it could be a success.
Oh well, I'm happy Realms Beyond is coming.
* ( I mean unless you count Siege of Dragonspear, but that's an expansion of an old game so I don't)
The last DnD game was Tales From Candlekeep: Tomb of Annihilation boardgame adaptation. It's a fine game but only as deep as boardgames can get, so not a lot.
Sword Coast Legends (which I rather like) was more inspired by DnD rather then based on DnD gameplay-wise. That's why it failed.
CEO of WotC said in december they plan to release 5 videogames by 2020 (of which they haven't announced any yet - unless NwN:EE was included), so I hope at least one of them is a proper RPG.
