Candlekeep Mysteries - New Adventure Anthology for 5E

 WotC has announced the next book for D&D 5th Edition - a new adventure anthology (like Tales of the Yawning Portal and Ghosts of Saltmarsh) called Candlekeep Mysteries!

There are 17 such mysteries - which take the form of short adventures - that will span from level 1-16. I suspect that there will also be some information about Candlekeep (my longest-running PC's hometown!) to potentially link these adventures, which all start with the discovery of a book at Candlekeep.

We don't have a ton of info yet about the individual adventures or if there are any particularly new elements at play. Both Tales of the Yawning Portal and Ghosts of Saltmarsh were collections of previously-published adventures from earlier editions, updated to work in 5th Edition. EDIT: The adventures are advertised as new, which suggests that unlike the previous anthologies, these will be brand-new adventures.

Naturally, after Tasha's release, it was to be expected that the next book would be a published adventure. One wonder what will come next, perhaps a new campaign setting book (we got Wildemount and Theros last year, not long after Eberron the previous year. My fingers are crossed for Ravenloft, Planescape, or Spelljammer.)
