Elemental Evil actually has a shorter window (a little under 5 months) than Tyranny of Dragons. The next storyline will begin at GenCon in at the end of July/beginning of August, 2015. (GenCon runs July 30-August 2nd this year).That puts it in Q3 this year; I expect an announcement about what's coming up sometime in Q2, possibly June.It's really worth noting that Princes of the Apocalypse isn't actually in wide release yet - only a few stores have it. Wizards would much rather people's attention be on their newest product rather than something far in the future. They've had a lot of experience with things being spoiled too early (I can think of a few D&D Miniatures sets where major spoilers came out and were incredibly frustrating for the Wizards team), and it's not something that helps.So, at present, all of Wizards' marketing is concentrating on its Elemental Evil releases. They are concentrating on what's actually coming out.Once Elemental Evil is fully in swing - another month or two - they can start ramping up marketing the next storyline and set of releases. As to rulebooks and campaign settings... Mike Mearls has said that they're taking a slow approach to releases. They're not rushing into things, but paying a lot of attention to the feedback on the edition. After all, most of us haven't played *that* much of the game. I've played quite a lot of 5E, and I don't consider myself an expert, especially not with high-level play!Cheers!</blockquote>
