D&D 5E Is the new setting Icewind Dale?

@Birmy pointed out this Reddit comment.

Add that to the image WotC put out with the upcoming announcement.

And they're selling apparel featuring a snowy owlbear.

Seems plausible.

The early previews of Baldur's Gate 3 have been quite positive; I wouldn't be surprised if there are already plans for an Icewind Dale game (it's the next best known electronic property). A tabletop release of the same property can only help.

I'd be down with a cold northerly setting like Icewind Dale. Part of me hopes for the Bloodstone Lands, but I'd be happy with either.

I hope so, I love that setting.

Sounds good to me, as long as it’s not another OMG FIRST LEVEL ADVENTURERS NEED TO SAVE THE WORLD!!!

I love Icewind Dale, but at the same time I feel, I don't know, a little underwhelmed. I'm sure the nostalgia quotient will pick up for me as an actual release date gets close.

Well, somebody needs to deliver the message to Drizzt so he can take care of the problem. I mean, Elminister is probably busy eating cake or something.

The new Dark Alliance is set in Icewind Dale.

Do they know how to make any other type of adventure. While I thought the adventure needed a lot of work on the part of the DM, I really liked the concept behind Dragon Heist. Would love to see more single Tier adventures that focus on an area and also double as a source book.
