According to Amazon a 'rebalanced' version of Tyranny of Dragons is being released by WotC in January. There's no indication if there's a new cover, but the "adventure has been rebalanced to be easier for a new Dungeon Master to run and a better play experience".

2019's Tyranny of Dragons combined 2014's Hoard of the Dragon Queen and The Rise of Tiamat with errata and new cover art. It was originally produced for WotC by Kobold Press during the early period of 5E when adventures were outsourced to local companies run by ex-WotC employees, such as Kobold Press, Green Ronin and Sasquatch Game Studios. This will be the third version of these adventures.

Tyranny of Dragons combines and refines two action-packed Dungeons & Dragons adventures—Hoard of the Dragon Queen and The Rise of Tiamat—into a single sweeping campaign. It also includes a gallery of concept art providing a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of an epic adventure spotlighting Tiamat, one of the most legendary foes in D&D.

  • A wonderful re-introduction to 5th edition’s first published adventures for new fans
  • Begins as a low-level adventure suitable for new players and evolves into an epic, sprawling campaign bringing players all the way from level 1 to level 15
  • Adventure has been rebalanced to be easier for a new Dungeon Master to run and a better play experience.
  • Book includes gallery of concept art spotlighting Tiamat, one of the most legendary foes in D&D

The thing is, despite having her name in the title, she doesn't actually appear in the adventure. With some adjustment, The Rise of Tiamat could be played as a sequel to the Dragonlance adventure (as a replacement for the Chronicles account). That might be what WotC is thinking here.
I think that is unlikely, but it would be nice if in the Running this Adventure in Dragonlance sidebar they tied it into the new adventure. That would be nifty.

TOD Evergreen Cover? Does anyone else see this on their FLGS websites? This looks like it's about to be announced. Tyranny of Dragons Evergreen Cover Avert the cataclysmic return of Tiamat in this adventure for Dungeons & Dragons! In an audacious bid for power, the Cult of the Dragon leads the charge in an unholy campaign to bring Tiamat back to Faerûn. Alongside their dragon allies and the Red Wizards of Thay, they sweep from town to town, laying waste to all those who oppose them and gathering a hoard of riches for their dread queen. The threat of annihilation has become so dire that groups as disparate as the Harpers and Zhentarim are banding together to fight the cult. The heroes must succeed, or Faerûn will succumb to draconic tyranny. In the end, the world will never be the same. FEATURES Two adventures (Hoard of the Dragon Queen and The Rise of Tiamat) are bound together with a fresh new foiled cover with spectacular art by Hydro74. Features concept art providing insight into the creative process when crafting this fantastical adventure. Complete with errata and a reworked opening chapter. COMING 01 2023
The above showed up at FLGS web sites. Note the link to the old Tyranny of Dragons link now goes to a list that the book no longer appears on.

I really wish that there was a "standard" cover that fit with the rest of the standard books.
