[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 8609844, member: 1"] In Hasbro’s recent conference call, a few things were mentioned. [LIST] [*]Using D&D and Magic ‘play systems’ to power other IPs via their ‘Universes Beyond’ initiatives [*]Using D&D Beyond as a hub [*]Other physical and digital tie-ins [/LIST] The [URL='https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Universes_Beyond']Universes Beyond initiative[/URL] has been running since early 2021 for Magic: The Gathering, and initially featured a[B] The[/B] [B]Walking Dead[/B] expansion (grandfathered in from 2020), and a [B]Stranger Things[/B] set (2020). 2022 will see [B]Warhammer 40K[/B],[B] Fortnite[/B], and [B]Street Fighter[/B]; and a [B]Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle Earth [/B]set is going out in 2023. In addition, properties like[B] Godzilla[/B] and [B]Dracula[/B] have featured as MtG sets, but not as part of the Universes Beyond initiative; and in 2019 there was a [B]My Little Pony[/B] crossover. There have also, of course, been D&D/MtG crossovers in both directions. [ATTACH type="full" alt="C51E23CA-CC91-49CB-9F75-AC99948A1965.jpeg"]155607[/ATTACH] Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment President Cynthia Williams said:“You'll see us continue to expand the number of formats and reach new customer segments by expanding our Universes Beyond initiatives, which brings IP from outside of [I]Magic[/I] into the [I]Magic [/I]play system, We've talked a lot about universes beyond in [I]Magic,[/I] which is this concept of thinking about [I]Magic [/I]as a play system and bringing in outside brands or outside IP into that play system. We see potential for that with [I]D&D[/I] as well." She also talked about other tie-ins: "And then we see a lot of e-commerce and direct opportunities working in partnership with our Hasbro Pulse team to have physical digital tie-ins that are unique to the platform". Hasbro’s Chris Cocks mentioned the recent D&D Beyond acquisition: “And then we’ll add on top of that the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons in 2024, where that entertainment, consumer products, and gaming momentum will continue. So, we see a lot of growth vectors and a lot of lifts for D&D with the D&D Beyond platform being central to that.” IcV2 has a good summary.
