Dungeons & Dragonshas just made one of its most interesting Unearthed Arcana additions in a while, but that's exactly why I'm afraid it might never get a chance to shine. Unearthed Arcana is D&D's standard avenue for playtesting, and new classes, subclasses, rule changes, and more are often trialed through Unearthed Arcana releases before making it into official rulebooks. Most recently, D&D released a new Psion class through Unearthed Arcana, emphasizing the mental magic dotted throughout subclasses in the Player's Handbook in a more concentrated form.

Dungeons & Dragons' latest Unearthed Arcana release revolves around the Psion, a class of characters who can wield powerful psychic powers. Unearthed Arcana is a series of DnD playtesting materials, put out periodically by Wizards of the Coast via D&D Beyond. UA typically allows players to try out new classes, items, encounters, and more prior to their official release in DnD sourcebooks.

Dungeons & Dragons has revealed a new Psion class in Unearthed Arcana playtesting, emphasizing new opportunities for mental magic that go beyond the options in the 2024 core rulebooks. Unearthed Arcana provides D&D with a way to examine the community response to potential additions and revisions by releasing tentative rules and requesting . The 2024 rules revisions went through major changes during Unearthed Arcana playtesting, and there's no guarantee that anything that appears in Unearthed Arcana will ultimately see the light of day.

The developers of Payday want to seek player on their next title, a Dungeons & Dragons live-service project. The title, codenamed Project Baxter, will be set in the familiar world of the D&D universe and feature procedurally generated gameplay elements to provide a replayable experience for fans. Baxter will be a multiplayer live-service title, and it's currently being developed by Starbreeze, the studio behind the latest co-op FPS Payday titles.

Dungeons & Dragonshas a glut of new subclasses coming out over the rest of 2025 and beyond. Wizards of the Coast recently released a new Unearthed Arcana playtest with eight new or revamped subclasses, all following a horror theme. The new playtest is the third batch of recent player-facing material released in recent months, with the majority tied to books set to be released in months. In total, there are 21 subclasses scheduled to come out over the next few months in at least three different products.

It's entirely possible to playDungeons & Dragons for free, but it's entirely too tempting to spend a lot on it. With a constant stream of expensive sourcebooks, interesting accessories, and every imaginable variety of dice, sticking to a budget means you'll have to ignore a lot of potential purchases. Investing in official books can often rack up the most significant expenditures, with most releases coming in the form of oversized hardback tomes that cost 50 or 60 dollars.

Pre-orders for Eberron: Forge of the Artificer, Dungeons & Dragons' next rule expansion, are officially live. Later this year, Dungeons & Dragons is set to go on a tour of the multiverse, with multiple products tackling different campaign settings found in the game. The first of those is Eberron: Forge of the Artificer, a new rulebook that showcases rules for the steampunk and pulp-inspired world of Eberron. Also planned for release is a new pair of Forgotten Realms books and a mystery October book that could be a return to Ravenloft.

Dungeons & Dragons is bringing back its Shadow Sorcerer, but the changes to the subclass could be controversial. Earlier this week, Wizards of the Coast unveiled a new Unearthed Arcana playtest, featuring six returning horror-themed subclasses revamped for the 2024 version of D&D 5th Edition. All six returning subclasses saw some of their abilities shifted to various levels and tweaks to various abilities with an eye towards additional usefulness and versatility. However, one subclass received a potentially major nerf to its key feature.

A new Dungeons & Dragons Unearthed Arcana provides some heavy hints that a return to Ravenloft is in the works. Among the most popular D&D settings, the dark domains of Ravenloft are all inspired by various horror tropes. Ravenloft consists of numerous "Demiplanes of Dreads," each of which is dedicated to keeping a particularly nasty soul imprisoned in a state of torment. Dungeons & Dragons most recently revisited Ravenloft in Von Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, released in 2021, but it might be time for it to reappear.
