Wizards of the Coast has apologised for a Dungeons & Dragons update that included “offensive material” and racial stereotypes about a race called Hadozee.
The company said it had “failed you, our players and our fans”, would remove the offensive material “effective immediately”, and stated that it was “truly sorry”.
“We wanted to acknowledge and own the inclusion of offensive material within our recent Spelljammer: Adventures in Space content. We failed you, our players and our fans, and we are truly sorry,” the company said in a statement.
“The campaign includes a people called Hadozee which first appeared in 1982. Regrettably, not all portions of the content relating to the Hadozee were properly vetted before appearing in our most recent release. As we continue to learn and grow through every situation, we recognise that to live our values, we have to do better.”
