Last year, we shared that shipping challenges in the Asia Pacific region had caused release date delays to several D&D titles in 2024. Looking forward, we recognized that these delays were more systematic and ongoing, and so we announced that we would be releasing our 2025 D&D titles slightly later in the Asia Pacific region than elsewhere. The goal here is to avoid disruption caused by last-minute delay messages and make sure fans and stores have a clear picture of when they should look for these titles.
This page is going to be our anchor point for those APAC-specific release dates. We plan to update this page (so go ahead and set that bookmark) ahead of each 2025 product release to provide region-specific target release dates for these titles. As of 14 February 2025, these are as follows:
Monster Manual
Australia & New Zealand: April 4th
South East Asia: April 25th
Dragon Delves
To be announced
Eberron: Forge of the Artificer
To be announced
Starter Set: Heroes of the Borderlands
To be announced
[October release TBA]
To be announced
Forgotten Realms Player’s Guide & Adventure Guide
To be announced
Note: These are expected release dates, but if by some shipping miracle we’re able to get the title to retailers sooner, then they can be sold any time after the global release date. These region-specific dates are expectations, not restrictions.
Thank you,
