Not as sure since the law suit but I think it is still likely. I thought that the number of upcoming classic settings went from 3 down to 2 while the DL novel law suit was happening, and then back up to 3 after it was settled. And Joe Manganiello has said he has seen the Draconian playtest material for Dragonlance. So unless they have changed their minds, Dragonlance is one of the 3 Settings. With  Ravenloft being the first, and Dragonlance likely coming soon, that leaves the 3rd and final classic setting that WofC is actively working on. Personally I think that it will be Dark Sun. While there are some issues to work out, on a sensitivity front (slavery) and mechanics (Psionics) these aren't insurmountable. I think this is the setting with the most traction because it has been released as recently as 4th Ed. And there are a bunch of new potential mechanical options. There are numerous new race/lineages (thri-kreen, mul, half-giants and potentially subraces for most core races) and subclasses (defilers, preservers, New Psionic options) and new rules for harsh environments, and alternative materials. New mechanical options for players helps drives sales. As for other settings I could see Planescape as the next most likely option. Honestly I think that planescape and Spelljammer and the only other ones I think have a chance of being released for 5e anytime soon. I think all the other setting have too small a following to be serious contenders. The exception is Greyhawk and I think it is too hard to tackle. Many of the fans of it don't want it updated to incorporate newer elements of the game. I think it would be almost impossible to make a version that would appeal to the bulk of  newer players while still keeping the bulk of original Greyhawk fans happy.</blockquote>
