Didn't they already make this announcement, or was that for 2019? (If it's the latter, then that's even more impressive.)
54% of active players are under 30. That's -amazing-.

It's also possible they release one book and one box set in the same month. Or simply, there is no 5th major release this year.

Later in the year, Chris will return with our big summer adventure, James Wyatt will deliver a substantially improved version of a concept that I initiated myself, and Amanda Hamon will close us out with a project that was jointly conceived by herself and several other studio members. As usual, Jeremy Crawford is working with all of our leads, overseeing mechanical content and rules development.
In addition to these five major products, look for a couple of additional surprises we’ll unveil in the months ahead.
