Rumors have been circulating that American toy company Hasbro is considering selling the intellectual property of the iconic game Dungeons & Dragons (D&D). Reports suggest that Tencent Games, a major player in the gaming industry, is among the potential buyers and that Hasbro has been in touch with both Tencent and Larian Studios. However, Wizards of the Coast, the developer of D&D, has made a statement dismissing these rumors, clarifying that they are not looking to sell the D&D IP. This denial comes as D&D celebrates its 50th anniversary.
