Wizards of the Coast announced at Gen Con Indy Aug. 16 that the much-rumored fourth edition of the seminal role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons will be released in May 2008.

The transition to D&D 4th Edition begins in April with a new edition of the Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures starter set and the Dungeons of Dread booster expansion. Older D&D minis will need updated stat cards to be used with the new editon rules.

For the Dungeons & Dragons, the 4th Edition Players Handbook is scheduled for May release, followed by the Monster Manual in June and the Dungeon Masters Guide in July, with additional volumes to follow. D&D 4th Edition will continue to use the d20 game system,  according to Wizards of the Coasts designers, the 4th Edition rules will be an "evolution of the system, not a revolution."
