Radiant Citadel was one.

That wasn't one of them. It was said both would be coming out in 2024

 

[MonsterEnvy]

Yes. In 1981. And it carries 40 years of baggage now.

Not really. Greyhawk is pretty easy to update.

That wasn't one of them. It was said both would be coming out in 2024

They also said plans change, and those settings could be cut.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Greyhawk seems like a good bet to me, too. It doesn't really matter if "the kids" haven't heard of it, they won't have heard of a New Thing either. If they shine up the old 'hawk and walk us through how to make our own setting and/or how to effectively use and expand on an old one, using the "first" as an example for either of those (or both) would be pretty spot-on.

I guess we'll see. If it were me, I would invest time and energy in something 15 year olds might actually like.

Hence why I said they appear more and more like vaporeware.

 

[Demetrios1453]

The closer we get to 2024, the more it looks like those new settings they confirmed a year or two back have become vaporware.

Nope, no set date was placed upon them when they mentioned them in 2021:

Go to 8:32:00 in this video from 2021 concerning them. Perkins doesn't give a date, just that they're under development. And I can't find any later video/article mentioning a more precise release date. So Radiant Citadel was almost certainly one of them:

They did not give a timeframe, actually.

All Winninger said was coming in 2024 was a return to a Setting that had been visited in 5E already, which from context implied Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms or Eberron. Probably thisnis about the DMG Setting.

I guess we'll see. If it were me, I would invest time and energy in something 15 year olds might actually like.

That hasn't historically worked, however: Nentir Vale was artificially created to appeal to The Kids, and...didn't work out. Even though it was good.

The most successful Setting shave been those grounded in actual play: Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Mystara (the Kent Atste shared campaign of the 1970's), and Exandria.

Any of those 4 Settings would fit the bill of being vanilla high fantasy (which I can assure you ad a parent is still in with the kids these days), but Greyhawk has the advantage of being easy to fit in a DMG chapter.

I suspect that they are slowly brewing a Witchlight inspired Fey "Anti-Ravenloft" with Domains of Delight, that may yet come to pass.
