Four subclasses confirmed for Arcana Unleashed

Wizards of the Coast has revealed four of the subclasses that will appear in this summer's Arcana Unleashed. The reveals came via a news article posted to Variety about the upcoming second season of Dungeon Masters, Wizards' D&D Actual Play show. The upcoming season will utilize material from Arcana Unleashed, with an adventure set in the Anauroch Desert of the Forgotten Realms. The cast will each play as characters with subclasses pulled from Arcana Unleashed.

The four subclasses from Arcana Unleashed are:

• Arcane Archer Fighter
• Warrior of the Mystic Arts Monk
• Transmuter Wizard
• Vestige Warlock

The description for Season 2 of Dungeon Masters is as follows:

Our heroes, magical agents of the Order of the Ninth Quill, are hurled into the lethal expanse of the Anauroch Desert: a shattered wasteland still radiating the catastrophic magic of Netheril’s fall. A fragile, shimmering barrier is all that stands between Faerûn and the arcane horrors buried beneath the dunes, and it’s failing. But the desert itself is anything but quiet. The Bringers of the Cosmic Dawn seek to tear the barrier down in pursuit of their own vision, while the Red Wizards of Thay maneuver in the shadows, hungry to seize the arcane power within. As if that were not enough, the desert itself seems intent on killing them. One problem: these kids are the absolute bottom of the barrel. Let’s meet The Misfits.

Wizards has confirmed that two more seasons of Dungeon Masters will be released prior to year end 2026.

Really enjoyed the first campaign. Looking forward to the second.

I am mostly a martial guy so I hope the Arcane Archer Fighter and Warrior of the Mystic Arts Monk are good.

This is interesting. I'll give it a try. Couldn't get into the Ravenloft one or Critical Role season 4. I'm hoping DH Age of Umbra Sallowlands and this will rekindle my interest into watching other people play RPGs.

I enjoyed the first 5 episodes and need to catch up…luckily they are in the 60-90 minute range which is easier to catch up with!

I have to admit I will disappointed when we dont get updated Wizard subclasses for all the schools of magic. I know it is a pain point, but it really should get finished with this book.

I don‘t think the four subclasses are the sum total of the subclasses to be released.

That is m

I don‘t think the four subclasses are the sum total of the subclasses to be released.

That is my hope also. However, because they listed Transmuter already, I am not expecting more.

The Enchanter and Conjurer were already confirmed by the preview pages in the original announcement, and an art piece they previewed looks very much like a PC Necromancer. So don’t worry, they will all be here.

Here's my best guess on what subclasses are going in there, based on the UA from the last couple years:
Cleric (Arcana Domain)
Fighter (Arcane Archer)
Monk (Tattooed Warrior, Warrior of the Mystic Arts)
Paladin (Oath of the Spellguard)
Rogue (Magic Stealer)
Sorcerer (Ancestral Sorcery)
Warlock (Vestige Patron)
Wizard (Conjurer, Enchanter, Necromancer, Transmuter)

Monk (Tattooed Warrior, Warrior of the Mystic Arts)

Rogue (Magic Stealer)
Sorcerer (Ancestral Sorcery)
Warlock (Vestige Patron)
Wizard (Conjurer, Enchanter, Necromancer, Transmuter)

I would say you are right about everything except for Tattooed Warrior. I think that probably got cut and replaced with Mystic Arts.

(I also think there is a small chance we might get surprised with an untested Wild Magic Barbarian. Not likely, not even 50/50, but I think it possible).
