Fantasy role-playing game “Dungeons & Dragons” is seeing its best year ever, Hasbro Chairman and CEO Brian Goldner Said last week.
“People are more into ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ today than ever before, People are re-engaged with that brand because it’s a face-to-face game, it’s immersive and it’s a game that people really enjoy playing with one another.” Hasbro Chairman and CEO Brian Goldner
Goldner also announced that Hasbro, which reported second-quarter earnings last Monday, would create a “suite of digital games” around D&D and Magic to satisfy the modern player.
He added that Hasbro’s goal over time will be to build fantasy games like “Magic” into esports properties “ripe for global esports competition” as consumers increasingly choose digital gaming over standard tabletop games.
A spokesperson for Hasbro later clarified that while the strategy for building digital gaming capabilities for “Dungeons & Dragons” remains intact, the game has not yet been classified by the company as an esport because of its limited competitive scope.
