Gather ’round, Dungeons & Dragons fans! It’s nearly time for this year’s D&D Direct, the annual event that showcases what’s on the horizon for the legendary tabletop RPG. Incredibly, it’s been 50 years since the creation of D&D, and it’s still the king of TTRPGs. This year marks the third annual D&D Direct, and there’s sure to be some exciting and unexpected announcements.
We have all the details you need to know going into the show, including when it goes live, where you can stream it, and what you can expect to see.
The show will air on Tuesday, August 27, starting at 9 am PT / 12 pm ET / 5 pm BST. For our friends in Australia, that’s Wednesday, August 28 at 2 am AEST. The show will be about 15–20 minutes long and will be livestreamed across IGN’s channels. You can watch it at any of these places:
IGN.com (our homepage)
IGN’s Facebook
IGN’s Twitter
IGN’s Twitch
IGN’s YouTube
If you’re unable to watch live or want to see it again, the full show will stay on IGN’s YouTube channel after it finishes, just like last year’s D&D Direct.
The show will be all about what’s coming for D&D. The game studio team will be on hand to talk about the 2024 Player’s Handbook that’s coming out in September. It’ll be the final sneak peek before release, and you’ll get to see some of the artwork featured throughout the book. Plus, you’ll get a glimpse into what’s in store for the 2024 versions of the Dungeon Master’s Guide, Monster Manual, and more.
The Project Sigil dev team will also join to share the latest information about the project. If you’re not familiar with Project Sigil, it’s a 3D sandbox that can bring your D&D campaign to life in a new way. You can create new adventures and share them with friends to play as a group. If you’re interested, you can sign up for the closed beta that will open this fall.
On top of all that, there’s bound to be some surprises even we can’t see coming. You’ll just have to tune in to the livestream to see what they are.
