DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Shares a 2020 Infographic, Announces Drizzt Focused Content

Dungeons & Dragons recently released an infographic highlighting their growth in 2020. I find it interesting to see how things shake out, and we find some basic details like there are roughly 50 million players, sales increased by 33% over the last year, and the ratio of men to women is roughly 3:2.

It’s also interesting to find that in March 2020, D&D was at peak search interest. I’m surprised that it wasn’t about one to two months later. In addition, #DND on TikTok had over one billion views in 2020! For me, possibly the most interesting bit of news though was that Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything was the most pre-ordered D&D book ever!

In addition to the recent infographic, Wizards of the Coast also recently announced that they’ll be celebrating the famous hero Drizzt Do’Urden. This kicked off with a new animated short written by R.A. Salvatore and narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch called Sleep Sound. This also feeds into a larger video from B. Dave Walters that shows off all of the Drizzt-themed offerings like the video game Dark Alliance, the new Magic: The Gathering cards coming in Adventures in the Forgotten Realms, and more. There are other merchandise opportunities coming like Funko POP figures and replicas as well as a live-action series in development at eOne.
