But the next year, there were three books and one box. Then it went to four books in 2020. So I don't know if we can say for sure that WotC is prepared to make 5 books per year consistently, though they may be.And I do agree that they're exploring more formats (they've said they are), but they do still have some categorization, as they still call Strixhaven a setting despite it's large adventure for example. I think part of the categorization breakdown is the team is having a little bit of trouble adding new rules to the game that pass popular muster, the case with Strixhaven's subclasses (which is why it needs such a big adventure segment, to fill pages).Anyway, I think the WotC team has certainly made setting books a big part of future plans, however I don't think making more than 50% of your future releases settings is a step they'll take. It crowds out other types of books like generic books (Fizban, Tasha's, Xanathar's) and also non-annual adventures (Ghosts of Saltmarsh, Candlekeep).I do agree however the "Revisited Setting" may be primarily an adventure, so straddle the two quite a lot.I definitely don't think they're prepared for 6 books next year, though I'm hopeful 5 is again possible.</blockquote>
