Perkins was talking about the 9 Hells...
One nice thing about using Tharizudun for a "Thanos" style bad guy, if they are doing that, is that there is so little actual canon lore regarding Tharizudun. Yup, he appears in a few modules, or at least cults do, but, by and large, there isn't anything really specific. So, they can avoid the whole "You can't do that" stuff when doing planar adventures.
So since tomorrow is the stream (and I doubt any more info will drop regarding the event) I am gonna go ahead and make my final guess on the 4 big products they are announcing. I am pretty confident about 3 of them. Here we go:
The big adventure being announced will be focused on the Bloodwar and will have a heavy focus on Zariel and her fall. This is also likely the followup to Out of the Abyss that Perkins mentioned in an interview last year.
The setting book will be Eberron, which is why Artificer is getting so heavily playtested again. Expect final versions of the crunch found in Wayfinder's Guide, but with less a focus on Sharn to avoid as much overlap as possible.
The box set will be an Eberron Starter Set. It will be more expansive than the previous starter sets, with a starter adventure, plus things like maps and maybe paper minis to accompany the adventure. Will also include a new version of the basic rules tailored to include Eberron content.
The mystery 4th product will be a surprise setting book. I am not sure on which setting, but my top 3 guesses would be Planescape, Spelljammer, or another Magic The Gathering setting (likely one with a close D&D parallel like Innistrad so they can reuse some of those assets).
I'm confident the first two are 100% correct. I am about 90% sure on the box set. I am maybe 50% sure on the mystery 4th product.
Can't wait to eat crow or say I told you so by the end of the weekend!
You’ve ruined it by spelling their name wrong.One more guess. Hasibro will come to it senses and put me in charge of D&D.

My guess is the Blood War AP, Volo's Guide to Spirits and Specters, Mystara Setting Book (this is why Saltmarsh Mentions Mystara and not Dragonlance), and the book set is for Eberron.
This of course doesn't count Adventerer's Inc book.
