D&D has finally laid out its plans for 2026, and it includes a return to Ravenloft alongside a long-brewing wizard civil war.
After a general – but understandable – freakout that D&D didn't have anything on the docket for this year, publisher Wizards of the Coast has finally cast "Identify" on its 2026 lineup. Unveiled at GAMA: The Tabletop Game Association, this roadmap includes three new books, community-led "seasons" of play, and plenty of accessories for one of the best tabletop RPGs. That ranges from horror-themed sourcebook Ravenloft: The Horrors Within (e.g. a welcome excuse to revisit one of the game's best villains, Strahd von Zarovich) to two "Arcana Unleashed" books. One of these details high-magic character options, while the other is being pitched as the "ultimate Red Wizards adventure" that plunges you into an all-new Wizard War.
