The first product for the Essentials line is starting with the ‘Dungeons &amp; Dragons Fantasy Roleplaying Game’ also being called ‘the Red Box’ and is due to be released on Sept. 7th, 2010.
 
It is our understanding that they are not going to be reprinting any of the three main books, the Players Handbook, Dungeon Master Guide and Monster Manual from this point on to allow them to be phased out. No other books have been mentioned.
This does not match repeated assertions by WotC that the Essentials line is not D&amp;D 4.5.&nbsp; At the moment - pending confirmation - this has &quot;take with a grain of salt&quot; status.&nbsp; I'll let you know if I hear anything more.</blockquote>
