Dungeons & Dragons World of Warcraft book to release in November
Wizards of the Coast is releasing a Dungeons & Dragons book based on World of Warcraft on November 17. Eurogamer reports the book introduces new playable races, subclasses, and spells inspired by the MMO, but it is designed as a tabletop RPG experience and does not replicate the MMO's mechanics like raids or grinding. Principal designer James Wyatt described it as a "paraphrased" version of WoW, aiming to evoke the game's feel within the D&D framework.
Massively Overpowered highlights that previews of the book detail significant changes to dungeons and the inclusion of adapted crafting mechanics. The project is described as an elaborate effort to recreate game elements for tabletop play, covering Azeroth through The War Within. A Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition setting book based on the World of Warcraft universe reportedly leaked in July 2026, and Wizards of the Coast stated in September 2026 that Dungeons & Dragons' Universes Beyond crossovers aim to attract new players.
