6th of June
D&D announces 2 books and 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝟹𝘳𝘥 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬
The first book is a long-awaited Fey Wild adventure called "The Wild Beyond the Witchlight". We are insanely excited about this adventure. It releases on 21st September!
The second one is another settings book from the World of Magic the Gathering. 'Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos' will be incredibly interesting to all the Wizard and Sorcerer fans out there.
We are hoping for a ton of new spells and arcane mechanics to be featured.
A 3rd unannounced book was (𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘥?) mentioned in a tweet by Executive Producer Head of D&D. This book by James Wyatt is still a mystery. But it is slated for release in between the two aforementioned books.

Dark Alliance the D&D video game hits the screens everywhere!
As fun as it promises to be, this co-op smash-em-up game has fallen ill to the many poor reviews all over the web.

It's free on Xbox Game Pass and you can purchase it on all platforms and stores.
