D&D 5E Mythic Odysseys of Theros Delayed

Amazon's entry for the upcoming Greek-themed D&D setting book Mythic Odysseys of Theros has an updated release date of July 21st, 2020, delayed from June 2nd 2020. Amazon has emailed those who pre-ordered the book to tell them about the amended date. This change is also reflected on WotC's own product page.

The D&D team has been working at home during the current pandemic, and there have been worldwide delays for everybody with printers, game stores, and distributors.

Update — WotC has just made this announcement.

The printers Dungeons & Dragons depends upon to create the fantastic additions to your RPG collection have been closed to keep everyone safe during this time. Unfortunately, that means it will take a little longer to see Mythic Odysseys of Theros on your shelf. Look to pick up the standard or alternate cover at your local game store on July 21. If using digital platforms is more for you, you’re in luck because you’ll be able to access Mythic Odyssey of Theros content on June 2 on Roll 20, Fantasy Grounds and D&D Beyond.

That’s not all! We’re giving all fans a reason to support their friendly local game stores. Each participating WPN store will be able to provide a physical reference map for use with encounters and monsters in the book AND unique codes to the first 20 fans who pre-order or buy Mythic Odysseys of Theros for 50% off the digital version on D&D Beyond!

Though you may not be able to play your next Adventurers League game in person at your favorite store, we want to help support the local businesses responsible for the endless camaraderie and joy they provide. Thank you to game stores for partnering with Wizards of the Coast to make this happen!

I'll be curious, what is it?

Her father was a titan, Atlas, who fought against the gods in the giant war that happened when the gods became rulers of the universe. Calypso sided with her father, Atlas, because they were family, even though Calypso was a nice person, siding with the wrong side of a war. All the titans and their children were punished for fighting against them, so Calypso was banished to the island Ogygia, and cursed to never be found by anyone, except a hero ever few centuries who she would fall in love with. Unfortunately, the hero would always have to leave to save the world, or go back to their family, and Calypso would be heartbroken, over, and over, and over, for millennia, as punishment for siding with her father in a war, thousands of years ago.

If just something like that was in the book...

Are you referring to the Percy Jackson book or the Mythic Odysseys of Theros book?

The Odyssey?

Oh, yes, sorry, took me a bit to realize that.
Yes, if it was in the Odyssey, it would be a better story in that aspect.
