Tencent is reportedly seeking to acquire Dungeons & Dragons from Hasbro [update: Hasbro deny rumors]

update 14:05

“We regularly talk to Tencent and enjoy multiple partnerships with them across a number of our IPs. We don’t make a habit of commenting on internet rumors, but to be clear: we are not looking to sell our D&D IP. We will keep talking to partners about how we bring the best digital experiences to our fans. We won’t comment any further on speculation or rumors about potential M&A or licensing deals.”

Might have to do with Jubensha getting so popular in China

The source of the rumor is a youtube video speculating. The rumor is based upon nothing else.

Wow, the only possibility I can imagine that is even worse than Hasbro

or they leak rumor of a tencent deal themselves.. either to try to get a wild unexpected offer from somewhere, or to disguise the fact their real intended buyer is actually worse than anything you've thought about tencent.

Yeah this is a bullshit rumour. I haven’t seen any credible source for it yet.

The one I saw yesterday stated that it was "dnd" and that it was offered to Larian, but they didn't have the money, so Tencent stepped in.

I imagine it's the video game rights. Even Hasbro couldn't be stupid enough to sell off the whole thing.

The fact that it’s “DND” makes the rumour incredibly sus since that’s not what the IP is called. It’s only a colloquialism. Hasbro/WOTC always use the ampersand since it’s part of the D&D branding.

GhostMatter ,

The article clearly says they use the shorthand “DND” for their article. The fact that’s it’s “DND” and not D&D is likely due to the fact that it’s a chinese publication and also maybe a stylistic choice.

Speed Daily exclusively learned that the American toy company Hasbro is seeking to sell its well-known IP “Dungeons & Dragons” (referred to as “DND” below), and Tencent is one of the potential buyers.

Money is a powerful persuader.

Enough money and dumb-ass executives could definitely make this happen.
