Glory of the Giants was supposed to come out in spring, Book of many things/Phandelver in Summer, and Planescape in fall.

The recent revealed release dates for these books have all completely left this timeframe.

Glory of the Giants is now coming out in August 15, mid Summer.

The Phandelver campaign is now coming out in September 19, early fall.

And the Book of Many things, is now coming out in November 14 far later.

Planescape is coming out in october 16th, so this one seems on course at least.

In other words, we will have little new 5e books or content until August, so hope you enjoy the rest of the playtests, as they is likely all we are getting.

Planescape has no set release date, but looking like it probably is delayed to winter 2023-24.

In other words, we will have little new 5e books or content until August, so hope you enjoy the rest of the playtests, as they is likely all we are getting.

Planescape is Oct 16.

Yeah, we knew about the delays to Q3 and Q4.

The equinox this year is September 22nd, so Phandelver is indeed still coming out in the summer.

The equinox this year is September 22nd, so Phandelver is indeed still coming out in the summer.

Late September is the standard Sumemr Advebture Campaign slot, which WotC has filled for nearly a decade and counted as Summer.

Technically, yes; but most people IME generally tend to see "fall" as beginning the day after Labour Day, when school starts and things move back into the not-summer routine.

Same way many tend to see "winter" as beginning right after US Thanksgiving, even though the solstice is roughly 4 weeks later.

It's not really a technicality; seasons are officially defined by the equinoxes and solstices.

I wish there were other companies producing 5E content ...

Where I live summer is officially the months of June, July and August, and the summer solstice is officially Midsummer Eve.

Here in New Zealand, the season starts on the first of the month. So springs starts on September 1st, summer on December 1st, autumn on March 1st, and winter on June 1st. Keeps it simple, I guess.
