Legend
Honor Among Thieves (possible sequel coming), Baldur's Gate 3 (possible DLC expansion), Drizzt in Dragonhiers: Silent Gods, both 2023 and 2024 have a whole bunch of Forgotten Realms novels and comic books (the return of the D&D novel line is huge).
Perhaps the biggest sign of all is FINALLY a new map of Faerun with a pile of actually information on it, such as the fact that Akanul is still there yeah!
But it's also clear FR is no longer the default setting, so it seems like it's finally broken the Default setting curse (being default setting was bad for Greyhawk in 3e, it was bad for Nentir Vale in 4e as well never got a proper setting book).
I don't think that is an accident.
Also the runour years ago that a return visit to a setting book years ago from Ray Winninger.
