Wizards of the Coast and Curse are gathering to bring Dungeons and Dragons fans an official companion application called D&D Beyond set to arrive soon.
Dungeons and Dragons is one of the oldest roleplaying games that’s still popular today, with the dice-rolling tabletop game being an actual hallmark of the RPG experience: it’s been included in everything from Stranger Things to Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and it’s been a strong element of popular gaming culture ever since. Even though fans have always had to rely on either pen-and-paper or unofficial products to keep track of the going-son of their D&D adventures, Wizards of the Coast has just announced that the long-awaited digital companion application for Dungeons and Dragons is finally coming.
Entitled D&D Beyond, the official game management tool will allow players new and old to keep track of things like player creation, leveling up, spells, inventory, and the rules that govern the Dungeons and Dragons universe (no news on if this update will come out with new editions, though). The application is being designed by Curse, the company owned by Twitch that specializes in multiplatform management tools. Those adventurers and dungeon masters interested in signing up for the beta can do so here.
The application will also give users the ability to create their own homebrew content and share them with other D&D Beyond users, which makes it much easier for dungeon masters to distribute their custom-crafter rules throughout sessions. Those who have spent their time going through the official Dungeons and Dragons handbook searching for a certain spell or item will also be excited about the application’s search functionality, which should reduce the time spent on logistics instead of critical rolls.
The trailer below states that D&D Beyond is scheduled to come out this summer, with additional details about both the beta and launch date set to come soon.
