Renegade Games Studios Announces Lords of Waterdeep is Getting a Reprint

For years, a silent yearning has echoed across the tabletop gaming community: “When will Lords of Waterdeep return?” The beloved worker-placement game, set in the iconic city of Waterdeep from the Forgotten Realms, has been increasingly difficult to find, forcing fans to scour the secondary market.

Well, the wait is almost over! We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Renegade Game Studios has officially stepped up to reprint the classic Dungeons & Dragons board game, ensuring that a new generation of Masked Lords can vie for control of the City of Splendors!

The Return of a Board Game Classic

Lords of Waterdeep first hit tables in 2012, quickly becoming a fixture in board game collections thanks to its elegant worker-placement mechanics, accessible rules, and fantastic D&D theme. Players take on the secret role of one of Waterdeep’s ruling Masked Lords, subtly deploying their agents to recruit adventurers, complete Quests, and spread their influence across the city.

The game has been out of print for some time, making this reprint by Renegade Game Studios a monumental piece of news for both veteran players looking to replace a worn-out copy and newcomers eager to finally experience the intrigue of this award-winning title.

What to Expect from the Reprint

Renegade Game Studios is known for its faithful and high-quality re-releases, and this one is no exception. They have confirmed that the reprint will include the core game as well as the essential expansion, Scoundrels of Skullport!

• A Faithful Reproduction: The new release will be an exact duplicate of the original in terms of rules, components, and artwork. Fans can expect the same strategic depth and familiar D&D aesthetic they remember.
• The Full Experience: The reprint of the Scoundrels of Skullport expansion will also be available, which introduces the infamous Skullport location, adds new quests and intrigue, and importantly, introduces the Corruption mechanic and allows for up to six players!
• Pricing and Pre-Order: The core box set will retail for $55 USD, and the Scoundrels of Skullport expansion will be available for $40 USD.

When Can You Get Your Agents Ready?

Mark your calendars! The official retail release for both the Lords of Waterdeep core game and the Scoundrels of Skullport expansion is scheduled for April 2026!
