For fans of Matt Dinniman's wildly popular LitRPG series, the wait is almost over. Dungeon Crawler Carl: Unstoppable, a new deck-building board game from Renegade Game Studios, is officially set to launch in November 2026. The game lets players step into the armored boots of Carl or the ever-royal Princess Donut as they battle monsters, collect upgrades, and try to survive the deadly World Dungeon.
Whether you prefer to go it alone or team up with a fellow crawler, Unstoppable offers both solo and two-player cooperative modes. The core game covers the first three floors of the dungeon, giving newcomers and veterans alike a taste of the chaos that has made the series a publishing phenomenon. With its blend of absurd humor, brutal violence, and a talking cat who demands respect, it's no wonder the franchise has captured the imaginations of so many readers.
Two Expansions Add Even More Mayhem
In addition to the base game, two expansions are also slated for November. The Iron Tangle expansion introduces the infamous fourth-floor subway system from the novels, complete with new enemies, bosses, and upgrades. Meanwhile, Crawler Chaos expands the character roster with fan favorites like Katia, Imani, and Prepotente, plus options for creating your own custom crawler. Both expansions are priced at around $25 each, making it easy to build out your collection.
A Record-Breaking Crowdfunding Campaign
The road to release has been nothing short of spectacular. The crowdfunding campaign that brought together Unstoppable and the official Dungeon Crawler Carl tabletop RPG raised more than $13.29 million from nearly 56,000 backers, making it the most-funded game in BackerKit history. That kind of support speaks volumes about the dedication of the fanbase and the excitement surrounding these tabletop adaptations.
For those who want the full role-playing experience, the tabletop RPG will also arrive in November. The $55 Starter Set includes introductory rules, maps, dice, and pre-generated characters, while the $65 Core Rulebook offers over 300 pages of additional content covering character creation, monsters, spells, and equipment. It's a treasure trove for fans who want to dive deeper into the world of the dungeon.
Mark Your Calendars
Dungeon Crawler Carl: Unstoppable is scheduled for a wider retail release in late November 2026, with preorders available now through Renegade Game Studios. If you're looking for other entertainment to tide you over until then, check out the upcoming third season of The Rings of Power or the next Hunger Games film, both arriving in November as well. And if you're in the mood for a classic, Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins is leaving Netflix UK that same month, so catch it while you can.
With its unique blend of strategy, humor, and cooperative chaos, Dungeon Crawler Carl: Unstoppable is shaping up to be a must-have for fans of the series and board game enthusiasts alike. Whether you're a seasoned crawler or a newcomer to the dungeon, November 2026 is going to be a month to remember.
