## Key points

- Dan Ayoub will lead Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro Digital Games.
- He takes up the role on 2 November.
- His tenure comes as several digital games are in development.

## Summary

Dan Ayoub has been named president of Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro Digital Games, ending a search that began when former president John Hight moved to an advisory role in September. The appointment matters because Ayoub’s background in digital games may shape the company’s direction across its major brands, Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons.

The appointment, announced by Hasbro on 27 October, takes effect on 2 November. Ayoub joined Wizards in 2022 and most recently led D&D; before that, he was an executive producer and studio head at Halo developer 343 Industries. Upcoming projects include the science-fiction role-playing game Exodus, due on 7 April 2027, and the D&D action-adventure Warlock, expected in 2027; Hasbro has also expressed interest in a future Baldur’s Gate 4, though no firm plans exist.
