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

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

A 2024/5.5 update for Xanathar's and Tasha's. I can totally see WotC charging twice for the same product.

The least shocking thing they could possibly do. The Forgotten Realms players book including super popular 2014 subclasses isn't a mistake, nor is them releasing the Artificer a third time.

...vecna's tome of secrets...

I don't recall what the lead time is for stores to be able to put their orders in, but I seem to recall it's about three months.

Two, usually. But yeah, even though I feel that things are generally announced TOO FAR in advance these days for truly good marketing, I also feel like we should know something about next year's stuff by now.

Yeah, skipping Q1 feels like something they wouldn't do on purpose.

I could be wrong, but I feel like they don't usually (other than the 2024 MM, of course, but that was later than they originally intended) put anything out until March or April anyhow. I think that they quite often DO skip Q1. And (as we have seen this year) they over-stuff Q3 & Q4, but again, this year's quick succession was not on purpose (when it comes to Eberron's release).

My answer is amended to:
Ravenloft Players Guide
Dark Sun Players Guide
Dark Sun DM Book

Low hanging fruit, and I do not disagree. Although it would be a departure for them to release two volumes for a setting... oh wait

World Tree Adventure Anthology

Interesting. I would be interested in this.

A splat book, with "Everything" dropped

They'll reference some in-world character, it's the shtick. Maybe Boo and/or Minsc!
