None of the Essentials products have been cancelled. All ten of them have been released.
Ah; I thought Heroes of Shadow and Heroes of Sword and Spell had been part of the list. I see I was wrong.
I'd forgotten the special Essentials Dice, and apparently, one of the tile sets.
Wait.. are you saying that HoS and HoSaS are cancelled? I thought i saw just the other day that HoS was being released.
Is HoSaS Essentials?
See? Your error just proves that, effectively, every 4e product we'll see after the ten Essentials products has been 'Essentialized' to a degree that will make it indistinguishable from an actual Essentials product.Ah; I thought Heroes of Shadow and Heroes of Sword and Spell had been part of the list.

It doesn't look like they're going to keep stamping 'Essentials' on the cover of everything they release. But they're not going back to churning out Martial Power X every year either. So I guess it depends on what you consider 'Essentials' to be.I really like the new Essentials builds and style of play. One question though, how far are they going with this? Will they keep pumping out new Essentials books (and classes), or is this just a phase?

Every future 4e product will be an Essentials product in all but name. Depending on your stance that's either great or dire news.
