Stockholm-based developer Resolution Games has released a free update for its digital tabletop simulator Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked, partnering with Penny Arcade’s satirical adventuring franchise Acquisitions Incorporated. Launching today, May 26, 2026, across Meta Horizon, PlayStation, and Steam, the update adds a corporate-greed-focused storyline to the core game.
Woven into Campaign 1 as a secondary plotline, players can find the fictitious adventuring CEO Omin Dran, voiced by Penny Arcade co-creator Jerry Holkins, recruiting for questionable ventures from the Emerald Tavern. The content delivers five new side quests, totalling roughly two to four hours of gameplay, depending on tactical proficiency.
Crucially, while this unexpected injection of comedy is entirely free to existing players, it arrives alongside a temporary discount on the base game and a quiet confirmation from the studio that paid downloadable content is scheduled for later this year. This positions the corporate chaos of Acquisitions Incorporated as an ideal player-reengagement strategy to build momentum ahead of premium expansions for fans of tactical roleplaying games.
Instead of standard high-fantasy tropes, the Acquisitions Incorporated narrative focuses on infiltration, arcane experimentation, and risky financial schemes, where success is relative. Built on the Demeo Action Roleplaying System, the update integrates fully with the core mechanics while radically shifting the tone from earnest heroics to cynical profiteering.
The update is cross-play compatible for players across PC, Mac, VR (Steam VR, Meta Quest 2/3/3s, PS VR2), and standard console platforms.
The base game is currently discounted by 20% across digital storefronts until May 31. You can find more information at the official battlemarked.com site.
