D&D's Forgotten Realms Books Hit With Delays in Europe and Asia

The upcoming Forgotten Realms books won't be released until December in Europe, with an even longer delay expected in Asia. Rumored several weeks ago, Wizards of the Coast officially confirmed that Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun and Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerun are facing significant delays internationally. The books' physical release in Europe is now December 12 in the EMEA region, while Asia will not receive the books until late January. Digital versions of the books will continue to be released on its original date of November 11th. No reason was given for the delays in either region.

Additionally, Wizards of the Coast stated that they'll "advise on the status" of Eberron: Forge of the Artificer's European and Asian release closer to that book's December 9th release. The Eberron book was previously delayed from August to December in all regions due to printing errors.

It's crazy how long the Eberron has already been delayed. I am happy I got the new starter set just in time for a local con, but this is bothersome.

It does give me more time to think about whether or not I want the FR books with the Alt covers...

I'm getting pretty damn tired of being a second class citizen when it comes to this stuff. Pretty much every WotC book in the last two years has been months late where i live.

What you gain on the swings you lose on the roundabouts. I get a lot of European rpgs faster and cheaper so I can’t complain that the American ones take longer. At least I’m not paying import taxes on this stuff.

Oh good lord.

I highly doubt the delays are due to non-Americans being considered "second class citizens". The delays are more likely due to printing, shipping, or even tariffs.

Delays happen. It sucks, but I have faith you'll be able to handle getting your books later.

In the mean time. Read a book.
