Dungeons & Dragonshas announced two additional books for its slate of 2025 releases, including a new sourcebook that returns to Eberron for the first time since 2019. Last year, Wizards of the Coast released an extensive set of revisions toD&D’s Fifth Edition ruleset, which were rolled out in a new set of core rulebooks. With theMonster Manualdue for release next month, attention now turns to how Wizards will utilize those new rules with their next slate of releases.
In addition to the previously announcedDragon Delves(an adventure anthology of dragons) and two books focused on the Forgotten Realms, Wizards of the Coast has announced two additionalD&Drulebooks for 2025.These new books includeEberron: Forge of the Artificer, a new rulebook that provides revised classrules for the Artificerand adds other new player options like feats and Eberron-themed backgrounds.D&Dwill also release another product in October, although no other details were provided.

As part of a press event at Wizards' headquarters, theD&Dteam also revealed new details about its previously announcedlineup of books. TheForgotten Realms Player’s Guidewill include new backgrounds and feats focused on the Forgotten Realms, as well as 8 new subclasses. Several of the subclasses are brand new and draw inspiration from various parts of the Forgotten Realms. The new book will also introduce circle-casting,a new way of casting spells that involves multiple spellcasters and amps up the power of spells.The current slate of 2025 releases is as follows:
As forEberron: Forge of the Artificer, the new book will contain new backgrounds, bastions, and feats specific to Eberron, as well as new species options. The species fromEberron: Rising From the Last Warwill be revisited in the new book along with the new Khoravar species. It also covers revisions to Dragonmarks, withthe Dragonmarked houses no longer “species-locked” and players able to choose Dragonmarks as feats. New airship rules in the book build off the vehicle rules fromBaldur’s Gate: Descent Into Avernus.
Our Take: 2025 Just Got A Lot More Exciting For D&D Fans
D&D Just Bolstered Its 2025 Slate Of Books
The addition of not one but two new books to the 2025 slate makes this year a lot more intriguing forD&Dfans. I’m particularlyexcited forForgotten Realms Player’s Guide,especially asthe new circle-casting adds fresh mechanics to the game and the subclasses aren’t rehashes of 2014 subclasses.
Dungeons & Dragons has revealed a brand new look for a classic monster, the aboleth, which dates back to the earliest days of the popular TTRPG.
There are also a ton of new player-facing options inEberron: Forge of the Artificer,with the airship rules particularly intriguing.Dungeons & Dragonswill have a lot more books in 2025 than expected, and the expanded slate should thoroughly showcase the suite of revised 5th edition rules in action.
