It's not Spelljammer, but that's ok, because the newest book announced for D&D is Journey to the Radiant Citadel, a new adventure anthology (in the vein of Candlekeep Mysteries and previous ones) that takes place entirely in new worlds and setting.
Notably, Radiant Citadel is the first D&D book to be written entirely by people of color - while we don't yet know the details of the various worlds that the Radiant Citadel connects to, it appears we'll be getting some worlds and stories that come from new perspectives.
The central premise of the Radiant Citadel also introduces a very cool new location with the potential for great new planar adventures.
The Radiant Citadel is a city in the Deep Ethereal Plane, and is built out of the fossilized remains of a vast creature that curled itself around a massive, life-giving diamond. Other crystals in the Ethereal Plane sort of orbit the Radiant Citadel and can bring great swaths of people to the city, and as such, the city is a place of many cultures from different worlds of the Prime Material Plane.
Inside the massive diamond, ancestral stories and myths are given life, with crystalline beings who embody the myths and stories of the peoples found on the Radiant Citadel.
In a sense, you could call the Radiant Citadel a new campaign setting, though this is definitely an adventure book rather than a campaign setting sourcebook. I'm sure we'll be learning more details about the book soon, but it certainly seems conceptually cool.
