This article was updated in July 2025.

Last year, we shared that shipping challenges in the Asia Pacific region had caused release date delays to several D&D titles in 2024. Looking forward, we recognized that these delays were more systematic and ongoing, and so we announced that we would be releasing our 2025 D&D titles slightly later in the Asia Pacific region than elsewhere. The goal here is to avoid disruption caused by last-minute delay messages and make sure fans and stores have a clear picture of when they should look for these titles.

This page is going to be our anchor point for those APAC-specific release dates. We plan to update this page (so go ahead and set that bookmark) ahead of each 2025 product release to provide region-specific target release dates for these titles. As of July, 2025, these are as follows:

Monster Manual (2025)

• Australia and New Zealand: April 4
• South East Asia: April 25

Dragon Delves

• Australia, New Zealand: September 15
• Singapore, Malaysia: September 20
• Indonesia, Philippines, and Thailand: October 11

Starter Set: Heroes of the Borderlands

• We currently expect to meet, or be very close to, the global release date of 16 September 2025. If this situation changes, we will update you further.

Stranger Things: Welcome to the Hellfire Club

• We currently expect to meet, or be very close to, the global release date of 7 October 2025. If this situation changes, we will update you further.

Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerûn & Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerûn

• To be announced

Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

• To be announced - New global release date is 9 December 2025.

These are expected release dates, but if by some shipping miracle we’re able to get the title to retailers sooner, then they can be sold any time after the global release date. These region-specific dates are expectations, not restrictions.

Thank you,
