D&D 5E skill challenges

[peach]

as a fan of 4e, i liked the idea of non-combat skill challenges like chasing someone through a city as it added some tension and excitement. has anyone heard of or have idea on doing something similar for D&DNext?

Apparently, they do not try to make a single system for skill challenges, but present several subsystems for various occasions, like the Exploration and Travelling rules. Those in some ways like a very skill challenge for these specific tasks.

There were no hints about rules for chases, yet.

The exploration rules in the current packet are the first hints of this. It's not a total chase scene yet, but it has the foundation of one.

They are there, just very open-ended, as they should be.
