From the Wizards of the Coast Website
Today, Wizards of the Coast kicked off a pivotal year for Dungeons
& Dragons, unveiling new serialized entertainment offerings that
will bring the upcoming Tyranny of Dragons storyline to life as well as announcing the D&D Player’s Handbook, Monster Manual and Dungeon Master’s Guide
for the highly-anticipated new rules set for the D&D tabletop
roleplaying game. Together, these new offerings will command the
attention of digital and tabletop RPG players alike, setting the
foundation for the future of the brand and powering incredible,
action-packed play experiences for fans.
First out of the gates for Tyranny of Dragons digital offerings will be a new module for the highly-acclaimed Dungeons & Dragons MMO, Neverwinter, from Cryptic Studios and Perfect World Entertainment. The new module, aptly titled Tyranny of Dragons, will be the premier digital Dungeons & Dragons experience for players and will launch on August 14, 2014.
“We’ve
had an incredible time being a key part of the Dungeons & Dragons
experience,” said Jack Emmert, CEO and Co-Founder of Cryptic Studios.
“Building Neverwinter has been an outstanding journey for our companies. With the new Tyranny of Dragons module, both Neverwinter
and the larger Dungeons & Dragons franchise will continue to be the
most compelling fantasy adventure for players new and old.”
For players eager to sink their teeth into the Tyranny of Dragons storyline around the gaming table, two new tabletop adventures will also release this year. Hoard of the Dragon Queen (August 19) and The Rise of Tiamat
(October 21) will take players into the depths of the dragon’s lair,
pitting them against Tiamat, the most fearsome dragon in D&D’s
history.
In addition, Wizards has partnered with WizKids to produce a new line of D&D miniatures that fans can use in conjunction with their Tyranny of Dragons
adventures, as well as complement their tabletop RPG experience brought
forth by the new rules set. With these new minis, players can expect
high-quality, pre-painted plastic miniatures featuring iconic heroes and
villains straight from the Forgotten Realms.
“This is the
biggest and most exciting year for Dungeons & Dragons yet,” said
Nathan Stewart, Dungeons & Dragons Brand Director. “We’re excited to
see the last two years of intense collaboration with our trusted
partners and dedicated fans finally come to fruition.”
