Highlights
Minecraft is launching a new DLC in partnership with Dungeons & Dragons.
The new DLC will be available for Minecoins on 27th September.

With Baldur’s Gate 3 introducing countless gamers to Dungeons and Dragons and CRPGs for the first time ever, Minecraft too is set to join in on the fun. A new Dungeons & Dragons DLC is set to launch and you can grab it directly from the Minecraft Store for Minecoins. The DLC launches today but the price has not been revealed yet. If previous DLCs are anything to go by, it should cost you around $8 USD to $10 USD worth of Minecoins to get your hands on the new content.

What to expect from the Minecraft Dungeons & Dragons DLC

The new Minecraft Dungeons & Dragons DLC offers an action-packed RPG experience that caters to both seasoned tabletop gamers and newcomers alike. Similar to the traditional Dungeons & Dragons tabletop game, players can choose their character class and playstyle. This allows you to make in-game decisions that align with your character's strengths and preferences.

If you prefer a more brute-force approach, you can opt for the Barbarian class, smashing through obstacles with sheer strength. On the other hand, those who favor stealth and cunning can play as a Rogue, using their wit to overcome challenges. For players who want to keep a safe distance from combat, the Wizard class offers the ability to cast ranged spells, raining down magical attacks on enemies. Additionally, the Paladin class allows you to balance offense and healing, making you a versatile force on the battlefield.

In this DLC, you will embark on a journey through the Forgotten Realms alongside an unexpected dragon ally. You'll have the opportunity to explore iconic locations from the Dungeons & Dragons universe as you strive to save the world. Along the way, you can unlock new abilities, enhance your character's statistics, and refine your combat style. The game features meticulously detailed environments, including places like Candlekeep and Revel's End, populated by fully-voiced characters and formidable adversaries.

The DLC introduces blocky reinterpretations of classic D&D enemies like Mimics, Beholders, and Displacer Beasts, providing a formidable challenge even for experienced adventurers.

As a special bonus, players will receive a themed Character Creator item and a D&D Monstrous Compendium featuring popular Minecraft Mobs. Just like in tabletop campaigns, your choices and dice rolls will have a direct impact on your gameplay experience.
