D&D (2024) Where to next, WotC?

Dark Sun would be a contender based on its unique style, but the sensitive subject matter of slavery is a very strong argument against it--unless they did something very unexpected like move the story ahead a century or so, perhaps after a slave revolt. Given the popularity of anime, a modified, culturally updated, renamed Oriental Adventures setting is a possibility--the Realms has changed a lot, but as far as I know there hasn't been much talk about what happened on the Kara-Tur side of the world.
An updated version of Oriental Adventures would be interesting. We could then have Lung Dragonborn and Tieflings who are the descendants of the Oni.

Probably not, since they just updated I3 Pharaoh in a book within the last year, with no real suggestions or links to the trilogy of modules that I can see.
Yes but let’s not forget that they also updated the OG Tomb of Horrors in the Yawning Portal anthology and then followed that up with Tomb of Annihilation.

I could see them doing something similar, so the follow-up wouldn’t be the OG Desert of Desolation modules all updated to 5e, but it would be a full-length campaign inspired by them and featuring a pyramid tomb dungeon and so on.

True, fair enough.

Based on all the Elemental Evil talk in the DMG, I would expect that for T1-4 first, though.
 


I'm still expecting an updated Desert of Desolation as a full length campaign/adventure at some point.
I did, too, until they stuck Pharoah in Quests from the Infinite Staircase, which takes one of the obvious adventures out of the mix.

I do think the Saltmarsh approach, where adventures are grouped based on the same general environment, is a good and useful one for DMs.

I forgot about that, I didn't pick up Infinite Staircase so that one of my DM's has more options for adventures that I won't have read.
