In a late December 2024 blog post, a Wizards of the Coast representative reflected on some of these undertakings and thanked the fans for their ongoing support, in addition to teasing what’s next in store for the megapopular tabletop. The move saw the company reiterate that Dungeons and Dragons’ 2025 Monster Manual is scheduled to hit the market on February 18, with this release being intended to mark the official conclusion of the year-long 50th anniversary celebrations.
New Dungeons and Dragons Events Are Already Confirmed for 2025
Wizards of the Coast is also planning a number of Dungeons and Dragons events for the upcoming year. Some such initiatives will see the Hasbro subsidiary merely support more comprehensive events, like Universal’s Fan Fest Nights, which are scheduled to take place between late April and mid-May 2025 and are already confirmed to have DnD content. At other times, DnD will be the sole star of the show, as will be the case with The Twenty-Sided Tavern, a theatrical play that debuted in spring 2024 and is planned to continue in existing locations while also expanding to new theaters throughout 2025.
Not All DnD 2025 Plans Have Yet Been Announced
Wizards of the Coast’s year-in-review post also saw the company reveal that Dungeons and Dragons fans have even more things to look forward to in 2025, confirming that not all of its plans for the following years have yet been announced. It’s presently unclear when the Hasbro-owned group plans to share more details on the matter. In the meantime, there’s at least one other release currently on the horizon in the form of Vecna: Eve of Ruin, a 256-page adventure book designed for characters in the level 10–20 range. Currently available for pre-order, Vecna: Eve of Ruin is scheduled to launch on May 21.
2024 saw Wizards of the Coast embark on some unconventional undertakings, like giving the green light for a Dungeons and Dragons-themed LEGO set, partnering with Koi on women’s footwear, and releasing a limited-edition bourbon in collaboration with Dragon’s Milk. While all of these initiatives were framed as part of the series’ jubilee celebrations, the reactions to some of them were positive enough to suggest that even more experimental products of this sort might be on the cards in the foreseeable future.
