So they just gave the title and showed the cover mock-ups; no specific info till Monday?
In general, expecting continuity across editions sets one up for disappointment; far better to treat each edition as a reboot.Considering that the Yuan-Ti section in Volo's never mentions a bit of their FR origin, I wouldn't bet on it. 4E lore is out, retconned and ignored, and Canon in general is fuzzy.
Impressed or not, that's likely going to be the case again.Yeah I wasn't impressed by that.

That doesn't work for the Forgotten Realms, which gets evolves not rebooted.
When you "evolve" the Realms back to their 3e lore with only mentions of the 4e lore then it might as well be called a reboot.
Haven't heard much talk about the Sundering lately.That is an over simplification of the Sundering, many areas did not revert to a form more similar to 3e.
Dambrath, Vaasa, Tymanther, and others were more similar to 4e, while Mulhorand and Unther actually are more similiar to a period prior to 1e in some ways.

I noticed Skulllord, Mindflayer, what I think is an Atropal (could be wrong about that), and what looks like some kind of Succubus on the cover.
