D&D 5E What D&D Product Can Be Seen In The Crystals?

WotC has posted an image of a pile of crystals through which distorted glimpses of what looks like a product can be seen. In the comments below, folks have been flipping, enhancing, and generally squinting at the image behind the crystals, and while it's hard to make out, guesses include 'Journey Through the Radiant Ocean' (although I personally think that first letter looks more like an X or...

WotC has posted an image of a pile of crystals through which distorted glimpses of what looks like a product can be seen. In the comments below, folks have been flipping, enhancing, and generally squinting at the image behind the crystals, and while it's hard to make out, guesses include 'Journey Through the Radiant Ocean' (although I personally think that first letter looks more like an X or K than a J). 'Citadel' is also a popular guess for that last word--'Journey(s) to/from the Radiant Citadel'? Take a look and see what you think (or check the comments for flipped and enhanced versions).

In Spelljammer lore, the phlogiston--the space between the crystal spheres in which the prime material worlds can be found--is also known as the 'Rainbow Ocean'. And crystal seem on-brand for crystals spheres.

Below the text, the image appears to be of some kind of marketplace. Above it, WotC wrote "Through the depths of the Ethereal Plane is a beacon of possibility and adventure... "

There was apparently a press event today, pending some kind of product announcement on Tuesday.

The new format is just “present a setting as part of an adventure anthology” most likely. If this is a Spelljammer Adventure Anthology Book, it covers all those bases.
That would fit the bill, and if Dragonlance is an Adventure Path with Setting details that would also work.
 

Honestly, if any setting merits the "settting plus anthology" treatment, it's Spelljammer, given all the various planets and crystal spheres possible. It can very much be run like a sci-fi TV show, with its monsters and planets of the week. Star Trek immediately comes to mind, and even Doctor Who (although that skips out on most of the interplanetary travel parts).

Mulling over it, something like Ghosts of Saltmarsh, with all new Adventures and jsut a little more robust Setting material, would work very well.

Maybe an adventure that is centered around stellar undead? Or a murderoid?

In fairness, you could say the same for Planescape - do it as an adventure + a manual of the planes.
