Renegade Game Studios has announced the return of Dungeons & Dragons: Castle Ravenloft Board Game, the classic cooperative dungeon-crawling adventure originally released in 2010. In partnership with Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro, the title returns in February 2027 with a refreshed presentation for today’s Dungeons & Dragons players and, for the first time, a Premium Edition featuring pre-painted miniatures.

Long sought after by collectors and difficult to find in recent years, the Dungeons & Dragons: Castle Ravenloft board game is making its return so a new generation of adventurers can once again descend into the halls of Castle Ravenloft and face the legendary vampire lord, Strahd.

The Master of Ravenloft is Having Guests for Dinner – And You Are Invited.

In Dungeons & Dragons: Castle Ravenloft, players become heroic adventurers exploring the deadly dungeons beneath Castle Ravenloft. Along the way, they’ll battle terrifying monsters, overcome deadly traps, discover magical treasures, and ultimately confront Strahd himself.

​Built using the acclaimed D&D Adventure System, the Dungeons & Dragons: Castle Ravenloft Board Game delivers cooperative dungeon-crawling gameplay that’s easy to learn while offering countless adventures. Designed for 1-5 players, each quest can be completed in about an hour, making it perfect for both solo adventurers and game nights with friends.

Two Editions Available

The Dungeons & Dragons: Castle Ravenloft Board Game will be available in two versions:

Standard Edition

  • Updated presentation inspired by the latest Dungeons & Dragons visual style
  • Includes unpainted miniatures
  • MSRP: $100

Premium Edition

  • Includes beautifully pre-painted miniatures
  • Ready to play straight out of the box
  • MSRP: $200

Both editions feature the same classic gameplay that fans have enjoyed for over a decade.

The updated release also refreshes the game’s artwork, logos, and graphic design to align with the current Dungeons & Dragons ruleset while preserving the gameplay that made the original a modern classic.

The Dungeons & Dragons: Castle Ravenloft Board Game is scheduled to release in February 2027.

Gen Con 2026: D&D Beyond Adds New Features and the Dungeons & Dragons Partnership Expands

Posted on by
D&D Beyond

Wizards of the Coast tackled one of Dungeons & Dragons’ greatest barriers to entry head-on by announcing and launching a new Looking For Group feature on D&D Beyond. Players now have three simple ways to find a D&D group: find local in-person events through an event finder, form tables with the online community via the D&D Discord server or find professional Dungeon Masters through a new partnership between D&D Beyond and StartPlaying. The StartPlaying partnership helps players immediately find a D&D game that’s right for them with a highly trained Dungeon Master waiting to take them on an adventure for the first time. For those first-time adventurers new to playing D&D or D&D Beyond online, Wizards of the Coast announced a special promotion where for a limited time, you can find and join a game on StartPlaying for $0.99. More information is available on the D&D Beyond website.

In addition to helping players find a group, the D&D Beyond team also unveiled a brand-new mobile app experience built on top of a new game platform that will be geared towards in-person play.  This mobile experience is completely redesigned from the ground up to make it easier and more intuitive to play D&D your way. Look forward to this release in early 2027. 

NEW PARTNERSHIP: 

The Dungeons & Dragons team announced a new partnership program, working with studios across the tabletop game industry to bring official, annual TTRPG support for D&D’s most iconic campaign settings. Initial partnerships include Ghostfire Gaming with a new Ravenloft release (2027) and Visionary Productions with Eberron (2028) and Kobold Press with the Forgotten Realms (2028). In the years ahead, the program will expand to include additional settings, ensuring D&D’s most popular settings are all supported for their biggest fans.

Gen Con 2026: Wizards of the Coast announces “Icons,” A New Creative Program Led by D&D’s Luminaries

Posted on by

During Wizards of the Coast‘s presentation during Gen Con 2026, writer, producer, and actor Joe Manganiello took the stage to announce his new role as Chief Creative Officer of D&D Icons, a new content program that brings legendary D&D creatives, including Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman, and Luke Gygax, back to the table to work hands-on with fan-favorite settings.

Dragonlance

One of the Icons projects announced on stage returns to one of the most influential fantasy settings of all time: Dragonlance, bringing back its original creators to direct a Dragonlance TTRPG product for the first time in over 20 years. Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman are working hand-in-hand on a new Dragonlance TTRPG book, compiling 40 years of knowledge and lore into the most ambitious Dragonlance volume ever.

Greyhawk

Also under the Icons banner, Luke Gygax took the Gen Con stage to announce a new project built from never-before-seen, unfinished content left behind by his father and original D&D creator Gary Gygax. Luke will complete an adventure through his father’s eyes, tying back to Gary Gygax’s own vision, available as early as 2027.

The Legend of Drizzt

RA Salvatore, whose books appeared more than 20 times on the New York Times bestseller list, announced that he will be working under the Icons program to bring back the most legendary Drow in the Forgotten Realms, Drizzt Do Urden.

Death Saves

Manganiello is launching a TTRPG world rooted in the dark fantasy art style and aesthetic he developed for his heavy metal / fantasy streetwear line, DEATH SAVES, as an official D&D collaboration under his ICONS banner.

GREYHAWK: CROWN OF THE WITCH QUEEN

Greyhawk continued as a theme at Gen Con with the reveal of Greyhawk: Crown of the Witch Queen. In this brand-new adventure, players return to the setting where it all began to decide Greyhawk’s fate amid the return and ascent of Drelnza, the vampire daughter of Iggwilv the Witch Queen—perhaps better known as Tasha—as she seeks to claim her birthright.

WARLOCK: DUNGEONS & DRAGONS – TASHA REVEALED

Fans of Tasha got a double reveal at Gen Con: her role in the upcoming Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons video game was confirmed, with award-winning actor Maggie Robertson stepping into the role through voice and performance capture, opposite Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica, Lucifer), who leads the game as Kaatri. Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons is an original third-person, single-player action-adventure game set in a dark fantasy open world inspired by Dungeons & Dragons. Developed by Invoke Studios, the game casts players as Kaatri, a veteran warrior who makes a pact to wield otherworldly magic against dark powers. Fans were also treated to a surprise announcement that the first look at gameplay is coming on August 25th as part of Opening Night Live at gamescom.

The series will be written by Eisner-nominated creators Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly, penciled by Ibraim Roberson, inked by Arabson Oliveira, colored by Dan Brown, and lettered by Haley-Rose Lyon.
