It won't happen this year.

You could have used any of a hundred other "Is it 5E?" threads.

Oh wait, all but one have been locked, and for good reason.

My predictions:

1) It will not happen (at least not at this GenCon, I am sure that a 5e will happen eventually).  They aren't announcing new stuff until tomorrow, but from previous experience, if it was going to be announced at GenCon, it would already be known.

2) This thread will be locked or poofed before it reaches a second page.  Because it will devolve into edition warring long before then.

Yes 5E has been announced, it was quite a while back.  Can't believe everyone missed it.

I am one of the people hoping for some kind of announcement along these lines, my preference being a new Basic D&D to co-exist alongside 4E, and even I thought "Hell no they didn't" when I read the thread title.

I think that's what they were trying for with Essentials.  Whther they succeeded or not is a mtter of opinion.  Whether it was a good idea or not is a matter of opinion.  However, I doubt they would try again so soon regardless.

4E is clearly dying, why wouldn't an announcement of 5E be forthcoming?

because each edition lifecycle get smaller, duh. haven't you seen the charts? number don't lie.

5th ed will be announced when 6th ed is released, which will obviously be the time they announce their preliminary work on 8th edition.

7th edition will be a myth lost in the bureaucratic mazes at Ha$borg.

The timeline eventually will reverse direction.  I heard a rumor next week that 18E will be released last week.

well since time is relative, one could say that 21st Ed is already released.
