Chinese media giant Tencent is reportedly seeking to acquire the Dungeons and Dragons IP from Hasbro.

update 14:05

“We regularly talk to Tencent and enjoy multiple partnerships with them across a number of our IPs. We don’t make a habit of commenting on internet rumors, but to be clear: we are not looking to sell our D&D IP. We will keep talking to partners about how we bring the best digital experiences to our fans. We won’t comment any further on speculation or rumors about potential M&A or licensing deals.”

Yeah this is a bullshit rumour. I haven’t seen any credible source for it yet.

The one I saw yesterday stated that it was “dnd” and that it was offered to Larian, but they didn’t have the money, so Tencent stepped in.

I imagine it’s the video game rights. Even Hasbro couldn’t be stupid enough to sell off the whole thing.

The fact that it’s “DND” makes the rumour incredibly sus since that’s not what the IP is called. It’s only a colloquialism. Hasbro/WOTC always use the ampersand since it’s part of the D&D branding.
