Dungeons & Dragons Direct goes live on April 21, here’s what to expect<\/div>\n

Dungeons & Dragons publisher Wizards of the Coast will host a special streaming event on April 21 at 9 a.m. PT. Called D&D Direct, the approximately 30-minute presentation will “unveil upcoming products, along with other announcements, and updates” according to a news release. It will be broadcast live on both Twitch<\/a> and YouTube<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Wizards has a lot of irons in the fire at the moment, especially when you consider it also publishes Magic: The Gathering<\/em>. For the D&D brand, there is at least one new book on the way. It’s called Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel<\/em>, and it’s the first project penned entirely by Black and brown authors in the franchise’s nearly 50-year history. There’s also a major motion picture in the can, starring Chris Pine with Bridgerton<\/em>‘s Rege-Jean Page, Fast and the Furious’ Michelle Rodriguez, and Paddington 2<\/em>‘s Hugh Grant. Meanwhile, we haven’t heard much on the live-action TV show in a while either. Then there are the video games. Baldur’s Gate 3<\/em> is still in early access, and an as-yet untitled third-person open-world game is on the way from Hidden Path Entertainment. <\/p>\n

Wizards’ parent company Hasbro, announced Wednesday that it has acquired D&D Beyond. This is the most widely used digital toolkit for gaming. The acquisition comes on the heels of a banner year for the Rhode Island based toy company, which cleared $1 billion in sales<\/a> for the first time in 2021. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
