But will there be a big surprise? This is still a pretty important milestone. We have reason to be excited about this topic in particular.
Dungeons and Dragons is preparing a big event
The first version of Dungeons and Dragons was born in 1974, which doesn’t make us any younger. The idea was to experience unforgettable stories together with friends or family. Considering the enormous success it has had to date, we can say that it is a real success. So we’ve arrived in 2024 and Wizards of the Coast would like to pay tribute to this 50th candle. What will we have on the menu? To find out more, we received a statement from Kyle Brink, executive producer of the team responsible for D&D.
This year we’re celebrating all three on the 50th anniversary of the original release of Dungeons and Dragons. We’ll walk you through the making of the game, adapt some of the classic adventures for today’s game, and visit the most famous locations in the D&D multiverse and finally, we reveal the future of the game with the new 2024 Core Rulebooks that lie at the heart of the game. We’ve been preparing for this event for a while, it’s going to be a lot of fun!

Our man makes it clear to us that the world of Dungeons and Dragons still has a bright future ahead of it.

First, we have a new paper called “ Descent into the lost caves of Tsojcanth whose existence was revealed in 2023. If you want, you can even explore this new adventure online through D&D Beyond. No one is left behind and that’s nice to see. But that’s not all. With a new range of licensed products you can expand your collection.
D&D themed books, clothing and games

However, we already know that there will be several collaborations between Dungeons and Dragons and other brands. A LEGO IDEAS building set is mentioned, as are Converse clothing and shoes. We are also told about a 3D online gaming table that aims to increase the immersion in this universe. You know, there will be a lot to do.
