While we've had the back cover text for some time, Amazon has revealed more information about the Wild Beyond the Witchlight! The adventure includes Warduke, a figure dating back to the 1980s, and indicates that all encounters can be resolved without combat. The book also includes two new races (it's interesting they're using the term 'race' here, as they've been using 'lineage' recently) - a fairy, or a rabbit.
A wickedly whimsical adventure for the world’s greatest roleplaying game.
Once every eight years, the fantastic Witchlight Carnival touches down on your world, bringing joy to one settlement after the next. Its owners, Mister Witch and Mister Light, know how to put on a good show. But there’s more to this magical extravaganza than meets the eye!
The carnival is a gateway to a fantastic Feywild domain unlike anything found on the Material Plane. Time has not been kind to this realm, however, and dark days lie ahead unless someone can thwart the dastardly schemes of the Hourglass Coven.
The Wild Beyond the Witchlight takes adventurers from the Witchlight Carnival to Prismeer, a Feywild domain of delight, and is designed for characters of levels 1–8. This book comes with a poster map that shows the carnival on one side and Prismeer on the other.

Who's Warduke, I hear you ask? He dates back to the 1980s as a D&D action figure. In 1984's Quest for the Heartstone adventure, he was an 8th level human fighter, but by 2003's Dungeon Magazine he has become an 18th level fighter! WotC has a full article about him here.
Strongheart was Warduke's paladin friend, who later became his enemy as Warduke turned to the dark side.
Kelek is an evil wizard who also appeared in Quest for the Heartstone. In a novel, Warduke had him hire an assassin to kill Strongheart. He also appeared in episode of the D&D cartoon.
