D&D: Heroes of Faerun Alt Cover

It’s been almost 40 years since the first official Forgotten Realms publication was released for Dungeons & Dragons. Since then it’s gone on to become one of the most popular campaign settings of all time, spawning hundreds of Forgotten Realms novels, toys, video games, trading cards and of course, DnD game books.

Now, it looks like we’ll be seeing even more of Toril in the form of the Forgotten Realms “Heroes of Faerûn” Player Expansion. Slated for release in November 2025, the book will feature new subclasses, feats and backgrounds, and is designed to be a companion piece to the Forgotten Realms Adventures in Faerûn DM expansion that will also be released around the same time. The book is available now for pre-order on D&D Beyond and Amazon.

So just what can fans of Faerûn expect from this new player-focused DnD sourcebook? Below, we break out everything we know so far.
