"Hasbro in Talks with Tencent to Sell DND IP"

Hasbro is considering selling its iconic "Dungeons & Dragons" (DND) IP due to financial struggles, with Tencent being a potential buyer. The negotiations are in early stages, and Larian Studios is acting as an intermediary. Hasbro's financial crisis has led to consecutive losses, prompting the potential sale of DND, which has seen success in video game adaptations. Tencent's interest in acquiring DND would provide the company with dominant control over the IP and help avoid issues faced with other licensed IPs.
