The board game Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons is gearing up for a trip to Ravenloft with a newly-teased expansion coming out later this year. Last week, Ravensburger released a teaser image of a Carrionette, a monster found in Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, tied to an upcoming expansion for the board game Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons. The expansion was not named, but a rough release date of fall 2026 (aka Halloween time) was noted in the teaser.
Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons is a co-op board game that's part of Ravensburger's Horrified franchise. Players work together to defeat various monsters that stalk the board, with each monster having its own defeat condition. Typically, players have to collect various kinds of items and then travel to specific locations to defeat monsters, with the Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons game also incorporating a 20-sided die. Monsters in the base version of Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons includes a Displacer Beast, a Beholder, a Mimic, and a Red Dragon, with players taking on various classes from the actual D&D game.
The expansion is likely to contain more than a Carrionette. A likely candidate for the expansion is Strahd, which would in some ways bring the Horrified franchise full circle as the original game featured Dracula from the classic Universal Pictures movies as a foe.
