Star Wars will also be coming to D&D, and I’m worried Hasbro’s trying to turn a TTRPG into Magic: The Gathering again

Dungeons & Dragons announced a crossover with World of Warcraft and hinted at a Star Wars crossover set to debut in 2027 as part of a themed event titled "Season of Rebellion." The initiative, called D&D Universes Beyond, aims to enhance the D&D experience and is inspired by successful monetization strategies from Magic: The Gathering. Upcoming projects include the return of settings like Dragonlance and Greyhawk, with original co-creators involved, and the return of the character Drizzt and the Dark Sun setting.

Dark Sun, D&D’s most heavy metal setting, will be back in 2027

In the 1990s, the Dungeons & Dragons setting known as Dark Sun emerged, depicting a world ravaged by exploitative sorcerer-kings and featuring warriors with psychic abilities. Dark Sun briefly returned during D&D's 4th edition, and there has been growing demand for its revival in the 5th edition. At Gen Con's D&D keynote, Wizards of the Coast announced the return of Dark Sun, along with a new rulebook titled Blood and Power, a setting guide called Edge of Oblivion, and a special edition of the Player's Handbook. All three publications are set for release next year. Due to mature content, these books will be shrink-wrapped and rated 18+ for profanity, bloodshed, nudity, and sexuality.
