D&D General More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions

Pre-orders are live for the upcoming Forgotten Realms books, with one D&D Beyond listing providing some new details about digital DLC released alongside the books. Posted today on D&D Beyond, the "Forgotten Realms Ultimate Bundle" will include three digital expansions - Astarion's Book of Hungers, Netheril's Fall, and a third "secret" expansion to be named later. The digital expansions will be gradually released over a three week period. Astarion's Book of Hungers will include new player options, while Netheril's Fall will be an adventure book of some kind. Page count is not available, but currently the only way to get these three digital expansions will be through buying the "Ultimate Bundle," which has a whopping price point of $159.99 and includes both physical and digital versions of the other Forgotten Realms books.

What (little) information we know was provided by D&D Beyond and can be seen below:

• Astarion’s Book of Hungers: a digital expansion where players can indulge in their vampire desires with new player options, monsters, and adventure content – all shared by Astarion himself! | Release Date: November 11, 2025
• Netheril’s Fall: a digital expansion where players can explore the lost Netherese Empire in a time traveling adventure | Release Date: November 18, 2025
• A secret third digital expansion – to be revealed soon! | Release Date: November 25, 2025

I'm not sure that I understand. The Heroes book is $30 for digital and $50 for physical. The other one is $34/$60.

Yeah, I think the Digital Bundle product info is just wrong. They must have decided to post it with incorrect/incomplete info for whatever reason, and it will include the DLCs for about $62-ish.

I think that I've seen an official post on DDB stating that the DLCs will be included in the digital bundle. If true, it is linked somewhere in one of the billion threads...

This post confirms the inclusion of the DLCs in the digital bundle.

Everyone? Nah. Unless we're hanging out in different threads . . .

And there has been a lot of speculation about what they would contain, including speculation on player options, more campaign frames, and adventures. Which is pretty much what we are getting.

And they ARE free . . . if you purchase the print/digital bundle . . . OR (I just learned) the digital-only bundle, of the two FR books. I'm not sure it's been confirmed if you will be able to get them AT ALL separately from the bundles, but if they are made available, I'm assuming they will cost money.

And I'm totally OK with that. Why should they be free, outside of the bundles?

They are not free the price is factored into the bundles that is a big difference

Just going by the date, the third digital expansion will be a Thanksgiving-themed adventure. Or maybe Christmas.

Okay, maybe not.

Yes, and looking at the "$76 savings" claim along with individual prices for the books & dice, at least, it looks like all three DLCs together are valued around $50ish.

Whether that's 20/20/10 or 20/15/15 or some other combination (including any value they are including from the map pack?), we will find out sometime. But at least the math of the DLCs (+ map pack?) is clearly $50.

Edit to add: DLCs are $14.99 each. Dice and map pack are $5.99 each.
