The gaming rumor mill has recently spun one of the biggest yarns in gaming and tabletop history, if it’s to be believed, for a supposed leak has been spotted for an upcoming crossover between the popular MMORPG World of Warcraft and the historic tabletop RPG Dungeons & Dragons.
According to tabletop RPG news fansite ENWorld, this ‘leak’ comes from a post on Roll20, an online virtual tabletop website that is a partner of Dungeons & Dragons.
It reveals that Dungeons & Dragons is making a tabletop RPG version of World of Warcraft titled ‘D&D World of Warcraft’, which was planned to be announced at a tabletop gaming convention called Gen Con next week on July 30, 2026.

The post was quickly removed, but ENWorld managed to save a preview image and images related to the announcement via its web page, including the title post saying “Pre-order D&D World of Warcraft!”.
ENWorld has reached out to Dungeons & Dragons’ publisher, Wizards of the Coast, for confirmation of this supposed ‘leak’ of validity and will post an update when they have received word back from them.
Windows Central’s take
A good chunk of World of Warcraft’s lore, setting, characters, and monsters are very heavily inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, and in turn, World of Warcraft even influenced Dungeons & Dragons, particularly its 4th Edition, where a lot of its game mechanics became very gamified (speaking from experience here when I saved my group countless times as a healing-focused Cleric in D&D:4e).
Now Wizards of the Coast is no stranger to crossing its franchises over with others, as Dungeons & Dragons’ sister game, Magic: The Gathering, has had crossovers with Final Fantasy, Warhammer 40,000, Stranger Things, Tomb Raider, Ghostbusters, Hatsune Miku of all things, and many more.
So the idea of a D&D World of Warcraft tabletop RPG would make total sense and would make for one heck of a crossover game, that is, if it turns out to be true. I know I would be down for roleplaying sessions where the DM would allow us to enact goofy fanfiction adventures where we could change events of Warcraft’s lore in hilarious ways.
Either way, we will have to wait and see if this supposed leak turns out to be true at Gen Con next week on July 30, 2026, and remember, always take rumors and leaks with a grain of salt.
Do you think this supposed leak of a Dungeons & Dragons tabletop RPG adaptation of World of Warcraft is true, and if it is, would you be up for it?
