Daggerheart Announcement Roundup
Last Updated August 4 2026
With Gen Con 2026 coming up next week I wanted to do a roundup of all the current Daggerheart announcements, before we receive what's expected to be an absolute flood of announcements and updates during the Daggerheart Next showcase panel.
Earlier this year, there was some conversation in some of the Discords I am in that were concerned that it had been a few months without a major announcement from Darrington Press after PAX Unplugged. But stuff takes time to make! And I think it's helpful to know what's in the pipeline, so you know what to keep an eye out for.
I collated this list to help get a bird's eye of everything currently announced by Darrington Press primarily through their Gen Con and PAXU panels, and their launch day/birthday livestreams. Blog posts with all of these announcements can be found on Daggerheart's website here, although updated information about the status of some of these projects usually comes through Darrington Press' social media.
As we get more announcements, I hope to keep this post updated. Completed announcements are at the bottom of this post.
