A few months have gone by since rumors began to circulate that the next era ofDungeons and Dragonswas much closer than originally anticipated. Whether that next evolution will come in the form of DnD 5.5, DnD 6.0, or justadditional rule books with optional changes to the core systemis still unclear. That said, players may be learning a little bit more next week during the upcoming D&D Direct.

Earlier this week it was announced that Hasbro purchasedDnD Beyondfrom Fandom, so there’s always the chance some announcements could be made surrounding that platform and its offerings, as well.

Dungeons and Dragonsis available now.
