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

Bebble & Grime box set probably contains both Arcane books.

Note: this is pretty much equivalent to how the did the Spelljammer and Planescape boxed sets, only without a slipcase.

I did pretty good. If the fall release turns out to be Dark Sun, I'm golden.

not bad, but then you are basically saying that we probably see something containing the UA stuff and what they talked about already (Thay), so you weren’t exactly making an outlier prediction

I mean... everyone had the same information, but it was bergec (and Remithalis) who committed to the predictions in print. I don't actually remember what I predicted, but glad the release has happened.

I'm in for the Arcana Unleashed books, and give a shrug to the horror books. And if winter is Dark Sun, great.

Still want a big, fat, AP set in Eberron, combined with a Gazeteer, just like FR got. OR another Adv/Heroes of FR II. Maybe that'll come in 2027.

I am in for Ravenloft, if I go with anything at all. Don't need more high powered spell options, quite the opposite

We have at least two gazetteers from Keith, plus one from WotC. Why do I need another?

A good module or AP would be nice. I have more 1-5 level Eberron adventures than I would ever need but there is a surprisingly lack tier 2 and 3 Eberron stuff.

That said, there were a number of people arguing that the horror and arcana UAs (and even the apocalypse and psion) were for some of Everything book and the Red Wizard module got chopped in the free sampler module released with the core books.. There was also belief that we would get and generic shadowfell or undead book or even some grand Every Setting Sampler book. Even now there are some wild guesses on what the December book will be.

Agreed, but I was responding to the gazetteers part very specially. I'm not sure WotC even really does adventures anymore? Sort of, but like in the day. We really need Dungeon back.
