D&D’s Stream Of Annihilation To Introduce Next Storyline
Wizards of the Coast is looking to highlight the dramatic growth of live-streamed Dungeons & Dragons that has entertained so many in recent years; the company is hosting a two-day event where the new D&D storyline will be revealed, and then previewed with the help of a variety of D&D streamers, including groups like Critical Role; Dice, Camera, Action; Maze Arcana; and Misscliks. In addition, the D&D team is promising that other partners will be in attendance to discuss how the new storyline will interact with connected D&D properties, so expect folks from the Neverwinter video game team, the Gale Force Nine tabletop publisher, and more.
The event is set to unfold over two days, each with a 12-hour online stream. The festivities get under way beginning at 12 p.m. Central/10 a.m. Pacific time on Friday, June 2. A second stream follows at the same times on Saturday, June 3.
Early concept art for the new storyline hints at an urban settlement where dinosaurs appear to be domesticated, but Wizards of the Coast is remaining pretty quiet about the details until Friday morning.
Our Take
The rise of online streamed play has injected new life into the D&D tabletop scene, even as many other players continue long-standing home gaming groups that form the bedrock of the D&D gaming scene. As Wizards of the Coast has expanded out into other spheres like board games and video games, the announcement of a new major story tends to have ripples that affect a large number of individual connected products.
