It could be some time before the official release of the Artificer class, as there is no clear release window for the newest version of The Artificer. It is currently unclear if the class will be included in one of the upcoming 2025 books, so it will not be surprising if it gets pushed further. Since it is still in the playtesting phase, and feedback from players will probably influence further changes in its development, it may be a while before its official release in a future book edition.

The introduction to the last missing class for the 2024 edition of the Dungeons and Dragons rules, the Artificer, is currently in the works with player playtesting. Bringing perhaps the best class, with the enhanced capabilities of creating magic items, into the new version of the game is exciting many players. With an unclear official release window, the anticipation for the class's inclusion grows. Player feedback from the playtesting phase is sure to fine-tune the Artificer's potential and its ability to fit into the new rulesets.
