The film was originally set to release on November 19 and was pushed back to May 27, 2022, so this is the film's second release delay. Production for the film was scheduled to begin this spring in Ireland, but the studio hasn't announced if the release delay will impact production plans. Movie productions since 2020 have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it's still unclear when movie theaters will re-open.

This delay will most likely impact the multiple D&D TV projects Hasbro's production company eOne was working on. They were originally planning to release one of the D&D TV projects shortly after the release of the movie.
