Dungeons & Dragons 2024 is now officially D&D 5.5e, still isn’t a new edition
RIP D&D 5.52024OneE
A mere two years after the long-awaited update to the Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition rules dropped, Wizards of the Coast has announced that The D&D Formerly Known As 2024 will henceforth be referred to as D&D 5.5e. It’s a move meant to increase clarity, particularly on D&D Beyond, where digital rules references will now be labelled as 5e or 5.5e, referring to the 2014 and 2024 core books, respectively.
WotC has been keen to point out that nothing is changing except for the D&D Beyond labelling. So much so that it has published an extensive, seventeen-entry FAQ to assure players that no actual content is being altered or deleted, it isn’t a signifier of a larger rebrand, and no Pinkertons will be showing up to take their existing books away.
