Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked Teams Up with Penny Arcade’s Acquisitions Incorporated for New Free Update

Adventurers, opportunists, and future franchisees beware: Resolution Games today announced a brand-new update for Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked in partnership with Penny Arcade’s legendary Acquisitions Incorporated. Launching today as a free update across all supported platforms (trailer here), this all-new questline invites players to risk life, limb, and basic financial stability in pursuit of one thing: gold. And possibly “adventure”… but mostly gold. True to Acquisitions Incorporated form, the journey is driven as much by get-rich-quick schemes as it is by heroics, though players may find the results don’t always go as planned.

“Acquisitions Incorporated brings a completely different energy to Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked,” said Tommy Palm, CEO of Resolution Games. “Where our core campaign leans toward the more heroic and grounded, this update fully embraces chaos, comedy, and the kind of plans that sound brilliant right up until everything goes horribly wrong in true Acquisitions Incorporated fashion.”

At the center of it all is Omin Dran, CEO of famed and fictitious adventuring company Acquisitions Incorporated and voiced by Jerry Holkins himself as he does in the famous Acquisitions Incorporated podcast and stage show. Omin can be found in the Emerald Tavern in Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked in Campaign 1 and is out to recruit brave (or gullible) adventurers into a series of increasingly questionable business ventures. What begins as a simple job quickly spirals into a full-fledged operation involving infiltration, arcane experimentation, and a business model that absolutely will not be explained in detail.

“We have been big fans of the Demeo franchise since the original launched in 2021,” said Jerry Holkins, co-creator and writer of the famed webcomic, Penny Arcade. “Seeing our pretend franchise grow into a real partnership with Dungeons & Dragons and being able to work with the Resolution Games team toward the launch of ‘The Acquisitions Incorporated Update’ has been such a blast and really something that fans from every plane of existence will love.”

FIVE QUESTS. ONE QUESTIONABLE PLAN.
Woven into the events of Campaign 1 as a sort of “B Plot”, this new storyline features five side quests that can be tackled alongside the main adventure or played as a continuous arc for those who have already proven themselves capable of defeating Campaign 1’s final boss. Across 2–4 hours of new gameplay (depending on skill level), players will revisit familiar locations, face off against multiple factions, and discover that when Acquisitions Incorporated is involved, success is… relative. If everything goes according to plan, you’ll be filthy rich. And it will, that’s a Dran guarantee!

EXPANDING THE BATTLEMARKED EXPERIENCE
This update continues Resolution Games’ commitment to deliver ongoing content for the award-winning digital tabletop experience that brings players into the world of Dungeons & Dragons like never before. Built on the Demeo Action Roleplaying System, Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked brings friends together for fast-paced, turn-based tactical adventures in the D&D universe where no dungeon master is required, but plenty of table talk is encouraged.

With ongoing updates and even a paid DLC on the horizon for later this year, there’s never been a better time to gather your party and roll the dice.

Players can dive into the action of Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked from now until May 31 at a discounted price of 20% off (normally $29.99 USD) on Steam, Meta Horizon and PlayStation stores. The Acquisitions Incorporated Update is now playable for free to owners of the game and is cross-play for all supported devices including Steam PC, Steam Deck, Steam VR, Mac, Meta Quest 2/3/3s, PlayStation 5, PS VR2.
