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.

Well some stores here got stock of Fot last week or the week before.

The Faerun books apparently were January but sne came through yesterday.

Depends what distributor the FLGS is using.

Today is the release date here in Auckland for Eberron: Forge of the Artificer! I picked up my alt cover copy at my FLGS over my lunch break. I've already read the whole thing on DDB but I'm looking forward to flipping through the actual book once I'm finished work.

I got it today as well.

Looks like you will beat me to the alt cover books. I only found out they arrived early yesterday.

Yep! As you already know, it turns out an FLGS in Auckland had the FR books already as well!

Such pretty covers.

I love that it’s all one big piece of art. Wish I could hang it on my wall!
