Wizards of the Coast has denied reports that Hasbro is considering selling Dungeons and Dragons (DnD) to Chinese conglomerate Tencent. The company stated that they are not looking to sell their DnD IP and dismissed the rumors as “internet rumors”. The initial story came from a Chinese website, which claimed that Hasbro was in talks with Tencent to sell DnD, with Larian, the developer of Baldur’s Gate 3, initially seen as a target buyer.

The company has declined to provide any further comment on the matter. It is unclear where the details from the initial story came from and whether Tencent was involved in any discussions regarding DnD. Wizards of the Coast has worked with Tencent in the past, partnering in 2018 to bring MTG Arena to China. The company’s statement suggests that any talks with Tencent were about existing partnerships and not DnD at all.
