D&D Ravenloft: The Horrors Within

Dungeons & Dragons is returning to Ravenloft for its first release of 2026. Today at GAMA Expo, Wizards of the Coast announced Ravenloft: The Horrors Within, a new D&D sourcebook detailing the Ravenloft campaign setting. The new campaign book will feature horror-themed subclasses, species, backgrounds, and Dark Gift feats for players, along with details about various Darklords and their Domains of Dread. There will also be "dozens" of denizens of the fearsome mists, including potential allies like Rudolph Van Richten. Multiple genres of horror will be covered, including gothing, dark fantasy, cosmic, and the occult.

• 16 Domains of Dread, including the new cosmic horror domain Innsmouth.
• 17 Darklords for your party to face or flee from, equipped with challenging stat blocks.
• 7 subclasses (including the new Reanimator and Hollow Warden), 4 species, 4 backgrounds, 2 Origin feats, and 9 Dark Gifts for building tortured protagonists.
• 10 genres of horror from gothic to dark fantasy.
• A bestiary of 41 monstrosities and 10 domain denizens for your party to encounter.
• 47 maps and 28 digital quickplay maps for Maps VTT.
• Digital Pre-order Bonus: the Mists of Ravenloft Digital Dice Set, Ravenloft Play-Along Pack, and D&D Encounters: Shadows of Sithicus mini-adventure.

An early preview of the book revealed that the book will contain four new playable species - the Dhampir, Hexblood, Lupin, and Reborn species. The dhampir was previously released as a digital-only option in the D&D Beyond "DLC" Asterion's Book of Hungers. This seems to hint that various player options released as "DLC" may still have future in print releases. Also revealed was a new Investigator background option. The book also features Cthulhu as a Darklord, with 385 HP and a spell save DC of 25, hinting at a CR range of around 25.
