D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Lorwyn Campaign Setting Book in Q1

Some sort of Adventure Anthology in Q2

Ravenloft supplement (like Forge of the Artificer) in Q3

Dark Sun Setting Books (one player and one DM) in Q4

This feels like a really good bet.

There is also something to be said for avoiding this level of thematic saturation in a given year.

If you don’t like Giants, but the big adventure book and the big supplement are both giant themed, you’re basically taking the year off from buying D&D products, and WotC doesn’t want that.

Assuming they're only putting out two books, which seems extremely unlikely, based on the past few years.

I'm not buying this year's Forgotten Realms books, but I did buy the Monster Manual, Dragon Delves and Heroes of the Borderlands.

Everything they publish will have downloads with rules for all D&D editions, all Pathfinder editions, Tales of the Valiant, and Daggerheart.

Storm Kings Thunder was produced though the same year as Volo's Guide to Monsters, which has a section on... giants! Bigby is a larger amount of info, but there was some initial synergy as well. They did similar synergy with Xanathar and Dragon Heist, Fizban and Dragonlance, and Tasha and Witchlight. It's not much, and you could argue more can be done, but synergy was attempted.

Good note. But I always felt like those tie-ins were half-baked. Much like the integration of Baldur's Gate into Descent Into Avernus. Or the fact that there still isn't a Baldur's Gate campaign inspired by BG3.

Which reminds me...

Prediction: 2026 is the year that the BG3-inspired campaign finally comes out.
