Wizards of the Coast held their D&D Direct 2023 Showcase today focusing on things spinning out of Dungeons & Dragons. During the presentation, Wizards of the Coast announced new partnerships that expand the breadth of the D&D brand from digital games to physical collectibles from top toy manufacturers Hasbro and WizKids. The first of these new partnerships is with Minecraft and the launch of a new Minecraft D&D DLC, available on the Minecraft Marketplace Spring 2023!
In this new Minecraft D&D DLC, players choose among classes like barbarian or wizard and explore five iconic Forgotten Realms locations such as Candlekeep and Icewind Dale while defeating classic baddies like beholders, mimics, mindflayers and, of course, dragons! This new, original adventure allows players to customize their characters’ stats and roll 20-sided dice to determine how to proceed in fully-voiced dialogue. Play with friends and get a unique D&D experience in the world of Minecraft.
Hasbro is all in on D&D and has been creating amazing figures fans will love. Not only are there the previously announced Dicelings and 6” figures of the characters from Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and the classic D&D cartoon, but Hasbro showed off the Golden Archive releases of the Xanathar, an owlbear, and the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves displacer beast.
For Magic fans, Wizards also announced a special Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Secret Lair drop for Magic: The Gathering. This pack features six cards based on the characters of the film including Edgin, Larcenous Lutenist; Forge, Neverwinter Charlatan; and Holga, Relentless Rager all bearing the likeness of the actor playing the role. Pre-orders for Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves are open today!
The writing of R.A. Salvatore in the Legend of Drizzt has become synonymous with many D&D fans’ vision of the Forgotten Realms. With the release of Dao of Drizzt this fall and the upcoming conclusion to the latest trilogy featuring the drow ranger,Lolth’s Warrior, Salvatore looked back on the character that has meant so much to fans. Wizards’ partners at Gearbox Publishing and Cryptic Studios have teamed up with Salvatore to create Menzoberranzan, the 25th expansion for the popular MMO Neverwinter. The new expansion is available now on PC, Xbox, and Playstation, and lets players explore the dangerous city for the first time in the game.
WizKids has brought to life hundreds of D&D creatures over the years but none as gruesome – or adorable – as the D&D Replicas of the Realms they introduced during D&D Direct. The mimic may look like a treasure chest on the outside, but its purple tongue and vicious teeth will make any adventurer lose their lunch, and their hands, pretty quickly. The 20-inch-tall mimic is no match for the cuteness of the 11” baby owlbear figure with its “puppy dog” eyes.
D&D Direct rounded out with details on the upcoming documentary from Joe Manganiello celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the game in 2024. Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford from the D&D studio also dropped hints at what’s to come with previews of upcoming books, story hooks involving fan-favorite characters and villains, and a deeper look at pre-alpha gameplay footage from the D&D virtual tabletop (VTT) that’s currently in development at Wizards of the Coast.
If US TV News channels are focused on the annual final playoff football game which takes place this Sunday, let’s not forget that the biggest sport event is currently in full swing, broadcasted exclusively on Cabal Vision! Featuring the Bogenhafen Barons VS the Thunder Valley Greenskins, the first half of the match was dominated by the latter. Orcs and Trolls used their might to prevail, crushing the ball and catching heads (or the opposite). Famous Blood Bowl sportscasters Jim & Bob are here to cover play-by-play actions of this second half.
Featuring updated rules from the latest edition of the legendary board game, Blood Bowl 3 is a fantastic virtual experience based on the tabletop. The game will feature 12 factions at launch, including 4 playable for the first time in a Blood Bowl video game. Each faction has its own unique characteristics and related content. There are also single-player and multiplayer modes as well as more customization options than ever before. Every 3 months, a new season will start, adding unlockable rewards in the Blood Pass and a new playable faction.
Blood Bowl 3 will be available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S on February 23, 2023. The Nintendo Switch version will be released later.
The game development studio Cyanide and French publisher NACON have released a brand-new trailer for Blood Bowl 3, available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on February 23, 2023.
Blood Bowl is a brutal fantasy football inspired competition populated by Elves, Humans, Orcs, and other fantasy creatures. But do you know the specific features of Blood Bowl 3? What you need is a little update for the new game a few weeks before launch. It’s lining up to be a smash hit!
There will be 12 factions available for the launch of Blood Bowl 3. The most iconic factions are returning, such as the Dwarfs and Dark Elves. But they will be joined by brand-new factions, such as the Imperial Nobility, Old World Alliance, Chaos Renegades, and the Black Orcs, not to mention new factions that will be added at a later date!
The dynamic pitches also hold their share of surprises: in certain situations, these pitches transform during the match and change the rules. Kraken, unbearable heat and insect swarms, these events are sure to create memorable moments!
Among the new features, Blood Bowl 3 includes a major redesign of the passing system to provide better team balance. Passing the ball is no longer linked to the Agility characteristic, but rather to a new characteristic: Passing Ability. You will also have the chance to learn new skills that will come in useful for devising your strategies.
The levelling up system has also been completely revamped to provide more flexibility and more balanced levelling within a team.
And many more features are there to explore! Player and team customization, a season system, and official ranking: all the new features will allow every coach to stand out and enjoy a unique Blood Bowl experience. You can therefore flaunt your own distinctive style in the Old World during the single-player Clash of Sponsors campaign and against other players.
Blood Bowl 3 will be available in several editions:
Standard (digital): 29,99€ PC / 39,99€ Consoles
Deluxe – Black Orcs / Deluxe – Imperial Nobility (digital): 39,99€ PC / 49,99€ Consoles

In December 2022, the award-winning board game IceCool was digitized and is now available on Roblox.
After being one of the favorites in the board game industry for six years, a highly engaging digital version of this classic board game is being released by Simple Magic, a fresh new games studio based in Tallinn, Estonia, together with the game’s publisher Brain Games.
IceCool is a family board game with a unique theme – penguins running through the school and trying to get some fish. It stands out with two major innovations: flicking techniques and a box-in-a-box setup. The game was launched six years ago and has received more than 20 prestigious international awards, including Kinderspiel des Jahres award as the Best Children’s Game of the Year 2017.
Simple Magic captured the most important game functions of IceCool as close to the original as possible while automating some more mundane tasks, thus making the online version fast- paced, very competitive, and just incredibly fun. The game gives you the option to play with random players around the world, or set up your own games with only selected friends – a nice way to continue the fun from the table-top experience from your last togetherness.
Roblox is a multi-platform vastly popular games engine, with about 50 million daily players around the world. 67% of Roblox users are under the age of 16, making the online version of IceCool a perfect example of how to introduce a fun board game to new players, while also giving the enthusiasts of the board game a chance to reconnect over their favorite board from anywhere in the world.
