D&D comes to Horrified

Ravensburger has teamed up with Hasbro to launch Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons this summer.

This new edition of Horrified will set players against four classic D&D foes, as well as introducing new gameplay elements inspired by the mechanics of D&D – including a d20.

“The extensive lore and world-building of D&D enables players to embark on epic journeys as they quest to battle deadly foes, uncover secrets and make memories together,” said Dan Rawson, Senior Vice President, D&D, RPG and Hasbro Direct at Wizards of the Coast.

“Connection and storytelling are at the core of D&D, and we’re always looking for new ways for players to immerse themselves in the fantasy realm. Bringing the franchise’s rich characters to something like Horrified, which features narrative-driven adventure and cooperative gameplay, just feels natural.”

Mike Mulvihill, Game Development Manager at Ravensburger, added: “Anyone who knows anything about D&D knows how essential a d20 is to gameplay, so when the opportunity for us to create a Horrified game with D&D monsters came to us, we knew what we had to do. It is an honour to merge the historical and awesome worlds and themes of D&D with the immersive cooperative play that we crafted with Horrified. We believe we have created a board game that will please both dedicated fan bases.”

The monster challenges in Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons are designed by Peter Lee.
