Wizards of the Coast will be holding an announcement event on April 21st, called D&D Direct. In it, we'll be getting some news about the future of D&D.
Here's what I expect we're going to find out about:
Spelljammer: Beyond the Travelers of the Multiverse UA and a kind of general will of D&D players to get it, I have some secret reasons for being extremely confident that a Spelljammer sourcebook is on its way. At least a week from now we'll be able to say, with no irony, "Spelljammer Confirmed."
Dragonlance: Likewise, WotC hasn't exactly been playing coy with this one, given the "Heroes of Krynn" UA. But I think we're going to get an official announcement of a Dragonlance campaign setting book for 5th Edition.
Movie: We knew a D&D movie was in the works, but I imagine we'll get more details on it.
Video Game: There was an Xbox controller amongst the images in the preview video, so I think we can expect a new video game as well.
Lastly, something I think we're all going to be very curious about: the DnD Beyond acquisition. I've got equal parts hope and cynicism thinking about this, hoping that we'll be getting the digital versions of the books free with the physical purchase, but also cynical skepticism that no big corporation is going to want to just give something away for free that customers are used to paying for.
Anyway, some big new coming. Between this and the April 19th WoW Expansion reveal, we're in for a big April for news.
