D&D 5E What's the next setting? (Did I miss something?)

[Mercurius]

I went through a 2-3 month period where I didn't check messageboards much so I may just be out of the loop, but did WotC announce next year's setting yet? I know that there is a Nentir Vale Gazetteer coming out in the Spring, which makes me wonder if they'll do a full treatment for the summer. Does anyone know? If not, speculation?

They really haven't announced a new setting, but we'll be seeing the Nentir Vale Gazateer and a new 4e Ravenloft game similar to this year's Gamma World game. It should be fairly compatible with core D&D.

What exactly is Gamma World? I've been wondering this for awhile now. How does it differ from just another setting "book"?

Its a post-nuclear war SF/fantasy game filled with mutants and the remnants of the previous civilization.

And it's compatible enough with D&D that you can take any D&D monster and use it in Gamma World.

But... is Gamma World still D&D? Or is it like a boardgame or something?

It's still a roleplaying game, but not fully fantasy. There are laser guns.

I thought it was the Ravenloft boxed set...
