All announcements made at D&D Direct April 2022
The world of Dungeons and Dragons is looking to get even bigger, with Wizards of the Coast’s very first D&D Direct showcasing some of the incredible things coming to fans this year of 2022, and beyond.
Companies have been using their own Directs – showcases of varying lengths – to show off what cool things are coming for a while now, but considering this is Dungeons and Dragon’s very first, it’s clear Wizards of the Coast wanted to start the hype with a bang.
