Daggerheart is less than a year old but already has its first expansion coming next year.
As PAX Unplugged got underway, Darrington Press shocked the Internet by revealing that Daggerheart: Hope and Fear, the first expansion for the hit TTRPG, will be launching in the summer of 2026 and is available for pre-order right now!
As with the core release of Daggerheart, Daggerheart: Hope and Fear will feature a Standard and Deluxe release.
Common to both sets are the expansion rulebook, a new set of cards for the new classes, ancestries, and domains, as well as a rip pad that will let game masters create adversaries on the fly.
The Deluxe edition will contain alternate cover art, a GM screen, and several dice sets, along with everything included in the Standard release.
This expansion is loaded with new information, including:
- New character options, including 4 new classes: the Witch, Warlock, Brawler, and Assassin, each with 2 unique subclasses!
- 130+ new adversaries and 28 environments, plus a rip pad of blank adversary sheets to help you easily create your own
- 100+ weapons, armor, item, and consumable options
- 4 new Campaign Frames introducing new worlds and settings for you to explore
The cards include:
- A completely new Dread Domain set of cards, unlocking ghastly, macabre magic core to the new Witch and Warlock classes.
- Subclass Cards for all 8 new subclasses
- 6 Transformation Cards: A completely new mechanic, transformations represent changes or augmentations to characters in Daggerheart. During a campaign or at character creation, transform into a Vampire, Werewolf, Reanimated, Shapeshifter, Ghost, or Demigod!
- 6 new Community Cards: Duneborne, Hearthborne, Frostborne, Warborne, Freeborne, and Reborne
- 6 new Ancestry Cards: Skykin, Tidekin, Earthkin, Emberkin, Gnome, and Aetheris
