<\/a><\/p>\nArticle Summary<\/p>\n
A post was accidentally published on Roll20 which previewed a new product entitled D&D World of Warcraft<\/p>\n
Previously, World of Warcraft RPGs were published in 2003 and 2005 using the D&D 3rd edition and 3.5 rules<\/p>\n
This follows announcements from Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks in May 2026 that more \u201cD&D crossovers\u201d would be coming<\/p>\n
A full reveal is expected at the D&D Keynote event held at Gen Con on July 30th, 2026<\/p>\n
A recent post was published on D&D partner Roll20 that was quickly taken down, but suggests that one of the next major D&D products is a World of Warcraft crossover. The post included a preview link and imagery and appears to be related to a major announcement that will be unveiled at the D&D Keynote at Gen Con<\/a> next week.<\/p>\n While neither Wizards of the Coast or Activision-Blizzard have confirmed that the new product is indeed legit, all signs point to this being an actual product. Below, we break out everything we know so far.<\/p>\n What will the new D&D World of Warcraft book be about?<\/p>\n So far, details are extremely sparse, given the leak. On the Roll20 marketplace post, they list only that the pre-orders will be open for something known simply as \u201cD&D World of Warcraft.\u201d<\/p>\n It does, however, make sense given that recently Wizards of the Coast has launched a new franchise model<\/a> under VP Dan Ayoub, with Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks also announcing that D&D crossovers<\/a> are in the works.<\/p>\n Below is the taken from the post before it was taken down.<\/p>\n Have there been World of Warcraft tabletop RPGs?<\/p>\n This new D&D World of Warcraft product isn\u2019t the first time the two brands have met. In fact, Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game<\/a> was published in 2003 using the D&D 3rd edition rules under the Open Game License. It was essentially a setting book, offering new core classes and prestige classes (including the scout and warlock) and included a few optional roles.<\/p>\n That product was replaced in 2005 by World of Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game<\/a> under White Wolf\u2019s Sword & Sorcery imprint that used the D&D 3.5 rules under an Open Gaming License. <\/p>\n Both editions of the game received only a minimal amount of attention and were largely discontinued, with no major expansion<\/p>\n The relationship between D&D and World of Warcraft<\/p>\n The two brands are actually closely linked together, with the aesthetics and mechanics of early Dungeons & Dragons from the 1980s and early 90s heavily influencing the Warcraft\u2019s lore and mechanics.<\/p>\n Conversely, in the D&D 4th edition days, it\u2019s been largely reported that Wizards of the Coast based many of the mechanics on the World of Warcraft MMORPG. This includes changing class abilities, combat and spells to function more like the video game (with the hope that D&D could lure players from online to the tabletop).<\/p>\n Final thoughts<\/p>\n Although\u00a0World of Warcraft\u00a0has faded in popuarltiy somewhat in recent years (dropping from over 12 million players to roughly 2 million, according to recent estimates<\/a>), it\u2019s still a major pop culture brand and seems like a natural fit for D&D.<\/p>\n Notably, Wizards of the Coast has experimented somewhat with other crossovers in recent years, including Stranger Things, Minecraft and Rick & Morty, but this latest release suggest a much larger strategic shift as the brand reaches out to other major IPs.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve reached out to Wizards of the Coast for further information, but have not yet received a reply. We will, however, update this page with new information as it\u2019s released.<\/p>\n More D&D News Coverage<\/p>\n For more from the world of Dungeons & Dragons, visit our D&D News <\/a>page.<\/p>\n Subscribe to D&D Fanatics<\/p>\n Get exclusive D&D news, reviews and rules updates delivered right to your inbox.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\t![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/dnd-world-of-warcraft-crossover-2.png\")
