As revealed by Nerd Immersion by deciphering computer code from D&D Beyond!

Spoiler

Fizban the Fabulous is, of course, the accident-prone, befuddled alter-ego of Dragonlance’s god of good dragons, Paladine, the platinum dragon (Dragonlance’s version of Bahamut).

Which makes my guess earlier this year spot on!

UPDATE -- the book now has a description!

D&D 5E - My guess for the other D&D book this year... Draconomicon!

We know the fifth major product this year will be James Wyatt‘s as-yet unannounced project, and we know it will be coming out this year between Witchlight and Strixhaven. Wyatt co-wrote the Draconomicon for 3E. There have been two recent dragon-themed Unearthed Arcanas — dragon-themed...

"Great Wyrm" seems to be the Mythic Monster block rules for Dragon types.

 

[Bolares]

"There will be stats for four age categories of all five varieties of crystal dragons, so they can be used in adventures of any level. The book also includes stats for Dragonborn characters based on metallic, chromatic, and gem dragons, plus dragon-themed subclasses for monks and rangers, and new spells and magic items. DMs will get a wide variety of new monsters, lair maps, and adventure hooks."

In 2021 "slavery" (and probably Nazis too) has joined the list of things American society** considers "not suitable for children". You can debate the rights and wrongs of it until the cows come home, censorship has never been based on reason*.

Evidence?

 

[Parmandur]

Not understanding the issue.

In 2021 "slavery" (and probably Nazis too) has joined the list of things American society** considers "not suitable for children". You can debate the rights and wrongs of it until the cows come home, censorship has never been based on reason*.


Which is not to say WotC can't do Dark Sun now, but it does mean issues around slavery will be veiled, for it to be PG-13 equivalent.



*It has more to do with things adults feel uncomfortable talking to their children about.


** Some things are easier to see when looking from the outside.

WotC has covered that sort of thing as recently as...May? It's not the subject matter, it's the handling of the subject.
