Ravensburger Announces Two New Disney Villainous Releases For 2024
Ravensburger has two new items from the Disney Villainous line on the way in 2024, including a new expansion and a starter set.
Article Summary
- Ravensburger unveils new Disney Villainous expansion 'Sugar and Spite' with King Candy.
- 'Introduction to Evil' starter set offers streamlined gameplay for Disney Villainous newcomers.

Ravensburger revealed two new releases on the way for the popular Disney Villainous series, as players will be getting one new expansion and a starter set. First off, the "expandalone" is called Sugar and Spite, and will feature King Candy from Wreck-It Ralph as the primary villain, as he also is represented in shadow on the scarlet cover art you see here. But it only comes with two villains as opposed to three as there has been in the past. Meanwhile, the second release will be called Introduction to Evil, as it features a new streamlined gameplay system and comes with video tutorials that will be available online sometime later this year. This one was originally introduced as the Disney 100 Edition in 2023 for the lucky few who own it, as this is designed to be more welcoming for beginners. We have more info on both below as we now wait on release dates.
Disney Villainous: Sugar and Spite
Disney Villainous: Sugar and Spite, featuring King Candy from Disney's Wreck-It Ralph and Shere Khan from Disney's The Jungle Book, will become the franchise's newest expandalone when it debuts in June. A special edition of the game, featuring a candy bar-themed packaging sleeve and exclusive finish on King Candy's mover will be available exclusively at Target.
Disney Villainous: Introduction To Evil
In addition to the new expandalones, Ravensburger will also offer an option for new players with Disney Villainous: Introduction to Evil. First released in 2023 as a limited Disney 100 offering, the game will be available nationwide in August at mass retailers and hobby stores. Introduction to Evil has been refreshed with video resources and streamlined gameplay designed to be welcoming for beginners. It includes a lower price point ($29.99 USD) and a refreshed box, and it reintroduces some of the franchise's first Disney Villains – Maleficent, Captain Hook, Ursula, and Prince John. The changes incorporate fan feedback and the Ravensburger team's learnings from developing the game for over five years.
