D&D 5E (2024) When are we getting announcements for 2026 books?

Dark Sun always struck me as a place more for anti-heroes or for adventuring despite the status quo - trying to stay out from under the eyes of the Sorcerer Kings. Though the Prism Pentad seems to somewhat counter that sentiment...

If Dark Sun is getting a 5E update, it's not going to be an edgelord take. That's way too likely to blow up in their faces.

Battling the extremely awful status quo in the setting and leaning into the climate change of it all seems much more likely.

Yeah, that seems likely. If we get it (and I still have my doubts), I'd have to take a long, hard look at it. I like the original boxed set, didn't like the revised set and was indifferent to the 4E version. In the post-Tasha age, WotC's been really hit or miss with campaign material.

Other option could be an adventure working like a hidden pilot episode for a spin-off. Maybe the faction from "the black Spine" module are causing troubles in some place, and the PCs have to visit and explore the "city of spires", the region of Tyr/Athasian tablelands and a third zone that would be the spin-off where the new PC species and creatures could appear.

With MtG revisiting Strixhaven I'm hoping we'll get an update to that D&D setting.

Some of that book was really well done (all the non-adventure stuff)

I would love for them to just double down on it as a D&D setting, rather than as a mini-campaign. Give it the Van Richten's approach, in other words, and make a new book complimentary to the first (and avoid admitting it missed the mark).

We* were all rooting for you, Strixhaven!

* Me. I was rooting for you.

Building out the social system rather than the simple on-off switch they used would be excellent.

Using their modern microadventure technique to demo magic school in D&D concepts

Eberron would be a great model to follow for it
