D&D Direct is an official live-streamed event which will take place on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, at 9 am PDT (5pm BST).

The event will talk about the future of Dungeons & Dragons, and the Project Sigil 3D virtual tabletop.

You'll be able to watch it on the D&D YouTube channel.

2024 Player's Handbook
As the official release of the 2024 Player's Handbook draws near, we'll be taking you for a last peek before you can start playing with the revised rules! You'll get a closer look at the stunning artwork throughout the book and more.

The Future of D&D
We'll also unveil an outline for the future of D&D, including what awaits your heroes in addition to the releases of the remaining 2024 Core Rulebooks. Tune in to discover what thrilling challenges, familiar realms, and formidable foes will test the mettle of your party as you embark on new magical stories!

Project Sigil
The Project Sigil closed beta is coming soon, and we want to show what's in store! Project Sigil is an immersive 3D sandbox to help you run your D&D games. With it, you can bring your games to life in impeccable detail as you create your adventures, share them with friends, and play them together as a group!

You can sign up for the Project Sigil closed beta, which kicks off this fall, to be one of the lucky players who will preview the functionality and provide feedback to help improve D&D's next virtual experience.

When and Where to Watch
D&D Direct will premiere on August 27, 2024, at 9 a.m. PDT on D&D's YouTube channel. In addition to big D&D announcements, there will even be a special collab with Magic: The Gathering to celebrate D&D's 50th anniversary!

Come join in on the fun and experience what's next for D&D together!

I am not getting up at 4 am my time to watch this, so I hope one of you North American folks will be kind enough to provide a summary for me to read when I wake up tomorrow.

I think you can count on a 100-page thread arguing about it by the time you wake.

Last minute predictions for the 2025 line-up (and maybe beyond, although they'll probably be hazy about going further out):

1. New starter set
2. The Red Wizards big adventure book, including a small gazetteer for Thay or some other region under-detailed in 5E
3. A compilation of players options from the 2014 PHB, Xanathar's and Tasha's, plus some new stuff
4. A setting book suitable for new campaigns, possibly with a natural off-ramp from the new starter set
5. An adventure compilation, probably all-new adventures rather than updates or reprints
6. Something with a non-traditional vibe, either an MTG setting or something like Radiant Citadel or Witchlight
7. A new dice set with some accessories, probably some cards that players would find useful to refer to at the table

So they'll have 2 books for Forgotten Realms, one Player focused and the other DM focused some time in 2025

So, I was right about a new anthology of newer modules, dragons themed as it turns out, and right about a Setting, though it turned out to be FR and not Eberron.
