D&D 5E (2024) D&D Beyond's Development Roadmap Is A Complete Rebuild Of Platform

D&D Beyond has announced its roadmap for the future, including features in active development and those planned for later down the line. These include a full rebuild of the game platform's engine, a new character builder, tools for Dungeon Masters, and more.

Over the past few months, we’ve launched a new homepage, a revamped and more sortable content library, image reveals in the Maps VTT to help DMs immerse their players more easily, and several other quality-of-life improvements.

2026 is a year of refocusing and rebuilding D&D Beyond to make it easier to play D&D your way. Three major initiatives will drive most of our work:

• Rebuilding D&D Beyond’s Game Platform
• Improving Player Onboarding and Revamping the Character Builder Experience
• Launching a Suite of Dungeon Master Tools

Since I started my journey with D&D 5e, I have a bunch of the books digitally on DDB and I will say that the reorganization of the library tab has been my favorite thing about the DDB revamp. Before it was very annoying to get to books I owned on there.

It seems that there is no longer a link to the Italian 2014 PHB through the sources page. I was still able to find it through a Google search.

D&D Beyond is a really great program which is why I stick with 5th edition. If they would bring older editions back I would drop 5e like a brick. And would hasbro care?

Because supporting different versions of D&D on the same platform would be extremely expensive to cater to a small number of players, would undermine their entire strategy of getting away from editions and into "One D&D"...and because apparently their strategy is working in your case, since they've already got you using it to play 5th edition. It makes zero sense for them to spend more money to compete with themselves.
