Only WotC knows if they will end up being included in an Unearthed Arcana book, in a relevent andventure's "companion" (like the Elemental Evil Player's Companion), or part of some other fitting product. With WotC keeping their cards (read: release schedule) close to their chest, there really is no telling at t6his point.

These game mechanics are in draft form, usable in your campaign but not fully tempered by playtests and design iterations. They are highly volatile and might be unstable; if you use them, be ready to rule on any issues that come up. They’re written in pencil, not ink. The material presented in Unearthed Arcana will range from mechanics that we expect one day to publish in a supplement to house rules from our home campaigns that we want to share, from core system options to material designed for specific campaign settings. Once it’s out there, you can expect us to check in with you to see how it’s working out and what we can do to improve it.
