2026 Roadmap: A Year of Adventure
Ravenloft: The Horrors Within
In Spring, the Mists roll in as we kick off the Season of Horror—which crescendos with our next upcoming product, Ravenloft: The Horrors Within. This book returns you to some of D&D’s most iconic and chilling nightmares, the Domains of Dread.
We can’t wait for you to get your hands on it and unleash dark legends at your table.
We'll be sharing more about this new book soon, but here are the key dates to mark now:
- Pre-order: April 13
- Master Tier: June 2
- Hero Tier: June 9
- Wide Release: June 16
Season of Magic: Arcana Unleashed & More
After the last scream of the Season of Horror echoes out into the void, we turn the page to the Season of Magic—a celebration of spellcraft, wonder, and ceaseless drive for power.
To kick off the magic, you’ll be able to add new tools to your table in August with D&D Reference Cards, built to keep key information close at hand when the action heats up.
Then, arriving as a source of inspiration for all lovers of magic and the arcane, Arcana Unleashed and the adventure book Arcana Unleashed: Deadfall will debut in September.
D&D Beyond: New Ways to Get Playing Faster
As shared recently in our Development Roadmap, D&D Beyond is leveling up with updates that reduce friction and help groups jump into the fun. From smoother onboarding for players to better ways to find events—and more improvements aimed at helping DMs prep with confidence—2026 will help you play your way online and at the table.
If you'd like to dive into more detail on D&D Beyond's feature releases and stay up-to-date with what's recently come out (like Shared Dice in the Maps VTT), keep an eye on our constantly evolving Roadmap Hub.
Partnered Content on D&D Beyond

Posted Mar 3, 2026Damn Dr. Dhrolin's Dictionary of Dinosaurs is coming to dndbeyond? I'm kinda surprised given that book's a bit different when it comes to its design approach(especially the 3 subclasses), but hey, I own the book already but I'd be willing to buy it on DnDbeyond if I have the money XD

Posted Mar 3, 2026So the hopes for a Dark Sun book after the various UA subclasses ended up a false flag for a Ravenloft one. Fair enough.

Posted Mar 3, 2026Going off of the cover of Arcana Unleashed: Deafall, I'm guessing, yes. As the cover clearly depicts a Thayan Red Wizard.
