D&D 5E Is the new setting Icewind Dale?

@Birmy pointed out this Reddit comment.

Add that to the image WotC put out with the upcoming announcement.

And they're selling apparel featuring a snowy owlbear.

My money is on them going all in with the My Little Pony crossover. Adventure path, DDAL, setting, UA content, everything.

So Icewind Dale is known for "frontiersmen, pioneers, and barbarians". Do we get new subclasses for Ranger and Barbarians?

If Equastria is announced as the new setting. I swear to god.

Needs playtesting first. Unless they have finished with it.

It cannot be. They can't do that.

No, Icewind Dale would only be an adventure book with a gazetteer section. Adventure books don't get subclasses, only the occasional background.

I don't think it would have to be exclusively an adventure book. There is no rule it must be one thing only.

Icewind Dale: Descent to Gehenna. My best bet.

Somewhere snowy I imagine.
