Dungeons & Dragons Coming to Ravensburger’s Horrified Series

Ravensburger has announced plans to bring iconic monsters from the world of DUNGEONS & DRAGONS (D&D) to its acclaimed Horrified tabletop series from summer 2025. Under license by Hasbro and its Wizards of the Coast division, Horrified: DUNGEONS & DRAGONS will not only set players against four of the classic role-playing game’s most fearsome foes, but will also introduce new gameplay elements inspired by the mechanics of D&D. 

Horrified: DUNGEONS & DRAGONS will become the fifth entry in the popular Horrified franchise from Ravensburger and will feature gameplay elements familiar to players of other games in the series. In Horrified: DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, players will work together to face monsters and puzzle-like obstacles to gather item tokens, protect citizens and avoid attacks. Unique and thematic challenges for each monster further immerse players into the detailed setting and story. 

“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.” 

One of the monsters that fans can expect to see featured in Horrified: DUNGEONS & DRAGONS is the Beholder. Often described as a “Sphere of Many Eyes,” the Beholder was one of the original enemies featured in D&D’s initial launch in 1974. 

In addition to familiar monsters, Horrified: DUNGEONS & DRAGONS will also introduce gameplay utilizing a d20, or 20-sided die. 

“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,” said Mike Mulvihill, Game Development Manager at Ravensburger. “It is an honor 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.”
