Dungeon Crawler Carl fans are waiting with bated breath for an official announcement on Book 9's release date, though it may take a while considering author Matt Dinniman recently released a few teaser chapters and has a ton of story left to tell. That said, the author has proven he can turn out releases like they're going out of style, with Book 8, A Parade of Horribles, releasing in May 2026, just a year and a half after This Inevitable Ruin debuted in November 2024.
Looking at the larger series, Dinniman has released eight full-length novels since Dungeon Crawler Carl first arrived in 2020, an impressive pace considering the increasingly ambitious scope of each installment. With Book 9 set to kick off a two-volume finale, fans could be in for a lengthy wait before Carl and Donut's story reaches its conclusion, but there's plenty to keep them busy until then.
Fortunately, there's another major Dungeon Crawler Carl release officially arriving on November 23, giving fans something new to look forward to in the meantime.
