I'll add;

This summer will bring the return of D&D Live and D&D Celebration to announce the rest of the products due out for the line this year.

D&D Live is July 16th this year, so if this line is true, there is unlikely to be a book released this July.

5e isn't my favorite edition, but you have to give the design team a lot of credit. The numbers don't lie.

It is a fabulous new. Not only they have survived the videogame age but now it is living its best time. most famous than ever, and no menace of satanic panic. We are like the first years of Disney resurection (Beast and Beauty, Aladdin, Mulan, Lion King..), with a great future ahead.

But it is not only republish old glories, but to work in a d20 system ready for universally-compatible genres, even with firearms, modern technology, sci-fi and superpowers, to allow the adaptation of famous franchises from comics, movies and videogames.

so some new settings and classes plus subsystems?

I am sure WotC has got enough ideas for new settings. WotC also said time ago about "modules", ideas as monster training, managing a realm, mass battles, and I guess they are working yet with that, but now focused for computer-role-play-games.

Also I would guess Hasbro will acquire some company in the future, and even I suspect one will be the next.

That last one is also very cool. VRGR was the most preordered book ever. Currently #5 out of all books on Amazon!
