The crunch we know is in there doesn't seem to justify the page count by itself.

Only if you go by the very weird assumption that they would have UA'd everything that would have been in the book. Why would that be a thing?

Yeah because unlike Ravenloft which needs alot of space for lore/setting, Arcana Unleashed is probably mostly just crunch.

probably, but that is still what, around 120 pages you have to fill with stuff that are not subclasses? That still seems like a lot to fill with crunch only. Spells won’t take up that much room, do we have any idea what will be in it?

there is a lot of room between only what was in the UAs and the number of pages this book is likely to have. What they UA-ed fits in maybe a quarter of it, so while there will be some we have not seen, that feels like a lot if you limit the pages to crunch
