Dhampir and Other Species To Be Included in Astarion's Book of Hungers

The digital DLC is currently only available via an Ultimate Bundle costing $160.

The dhampir will be among several playable species included in the digital exclusive Astarion's Book of Hungers, which is currently only available as part of a $159.99 "Ultimate Bundle." Announced today during a panel on the upcoming Forgotten Realms content at Gen Con, the dhampir will make its return in the upcoming "digital DLC" for the Forgotten Realms books. An Ultimate Bundle was also put up for pre-order on D&D Beyond, which includes 8 species. Assumably, the dhampir and seven other species will appear in Astarion's Book of Hungers and perhaps split with one other unnamed DLC that's also included in the bundle. A third DLC, Netheril's Fall, is an adventure of unspecified length.

The fact that the dhampir and other species content will be included as "digital DLC" is interesting for several reasons. D&D previously made three species - the grung, locathah, and tortle - available exclusively as digital content. However, all three were released to benefit charity, with the tortle eventually making its way into Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse. So, while this wouldn't be the first time that D&D made player-facing content exclusive digitally, the intent (charity versus "Digital DLC") is certainly different. Additionally, it's unclear whether these digital DLCs will be available to purchase separately or if they'll only be available via the Ultimate Bundle, which includes physical and digital copies of the Forgotten Realms books, plus the three DLC packets.

No where does the digital bundle say it includes the expansions. You may be right, but people might want to hang on until there's clarity.

The ultimate bundle says "buy now and recieve..."

The digital bundle says "Buy the ultimate bundle to recieve..."
It's been posted several times in various threads here that the D&D Beyond devs responded in a thread there that they would be part of the regular digital only bundle. Go to the "More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions" thread for example.

I quickly found this, since it was a post of mine, but it had already been linked by other posters before.
