D&D Direct 2023 has been set for March 28 at 9am PT. This 30-minute pre-recorded showcase highlights a host of major Dungeons & Dragons announcements across several mediums. It's a perfect opportunity for D&D newcomers and veterans alike to learn about the state of the franchise, and what they can look forward to in the future. Whether you've been with D&D for a dragon's age, or whether you're curious about stepping into its fantastic world, you're sure to find something to get excited about when you tune in.
D&D Direct 2023 is certain to have a big focus on the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, which hits theaters on March 31. You should also keep an eye out for new reveals, as well as a first look at the D&D virtual tabletop built in Unreal Engine. The virtual tabletop was teased in August of 2022, alongside a host of other teases and announcements. D&D fans of all levels will be treated to hot reveals, and rookie adventurers will be made to feel especially welcome with content tailored for newcomers.
We'll be streaming the presentation. Here's what you need to know about the stream, including when it starts, where you can watch it, and what surprises fans might expect.

What to Expect from D&D Direct 2023
As stated earlier, D&D Direct 2023 is sure to have a focus on Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, given the movie is due out at the end of the month. Wizards of the Coast has been throwing a lot of energy into advertising the film, and they're not going to stop right before the finish line. But newcomers should also expect a welcoming committee of sorts, as it makes sense for newbies to be intrigued (and maybe even converted) before Honor Among Thieves comes out. If you're D&D-curious, this is a presentation you'll want to sit in on.
D&D veterans should attend as well, since we'll be treated to some new reveals. We're on the cusp of the playdnd rollout, and we'll be getting a good look at the virtual tabletop that was built with Unreal Engine 5. We last heard about that project in summer, so it's had some time to grow. All will be engraved in stone on March 28.
