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

I guess that is a reason, but if they were to update to the 2024 design paradigm there could/should be improvements and you are not obligated to buy it. I just see it as a win - win situation. You have the older version and newer version. They both work and you can buy or not buy either. You can use whichever you prefer. That and hopefully new art!

I would happily buy an updated to 2024 version of Monsters of the Multiverse. The species and stat blocks in that book are in an in-between state. If 2014 is 5.0 and 2024 is 5.5, then MotM is 5.25.

I don't disagree with you that it sounds like a nice idea. However, I don't think that it will ever happen. They are far more likely to make another similar book than to update that one. I mean, the newer, similar book could contain some updates from that book (for example the Species) making it effectively a MMoM update, but I suspect that it would be a different name, with mostly different content.

Hey, this IS a predictions thread, after all!

Yeah, outside of adventures, I don't think there's much chance of them reusing the names of supplements. And even with adventures, they are likely to go the "Phandelver and Below" approach, and signal that it's both new and old, I suspect.
