We'll see. I have a hard time picturing them using the 2014 trade dress on future reprints of existing books.
if all that changes is the color of the spine, that does not fall under
lightly updated adventure books, starting with Curse of Strahd and the other most popular books to the new trade dress.
and I am also not sure why that would be limited to the most popular books rather than be part of any reprint

As you said, we will see, I am not expecting any changes to the adventures themselves

Is there legacy content available for Hoard of the Dragon Queen and Rise of Tiamat? I'm asking honestly, as I only see Tyranny of Dragons available on Beyond. No differentiation for Curse of Strahd or Curse of Strahd Revamped either (or the Curse of Strahd reissue that came out inbetween the two).

We've already seen them reissue three 5E adventures as it is - Curse of Strahd, the combined/updated Tyranny of Dragons and the expanded-upon Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk. They have no compunction drawing on old adventures with Tales from the Yawning Portal, Ghosts of Saltmarsh and Tales from the Infinite Staircase. They've remixed old edition adventures with Tomb of Annihilation, Storm King's Thunder, Dungeon of the Mad Mage and Princes of the Apocalypse.

Perhaps one of the easiest ways to make some money for them right now would be to take the older existing 5E adventures that have been out of print for a while and have been well-liked, giving them a new coat of paint and do a couple under the hood tweaks. They've done it a dozen times in the past to different iterations of older modules like Ravenloft, Pharaoh, and the GDQ series and its worked before (even within the same edition!), I don't see why they wouldn't go for it now.

I think that it is likely that enough of Tasha' and Xanathar's has been pulled out and into the new book that there is justification to bring out the stuff left behind in a new package.
I for one, would love to see them expand on the downtime, crafting and lifepath stuff from Xanathar's. May be expand on the bastion system and thow in an optional exploration subsystem while they are at it.

Thats odd, I bought both Hoard and Rising but now I don't see them either. While I do see Tyranny, its listed as "comped" instead of purchased.

I wonder if I agreed to that at some point...

which adventures are out of print for 5e? None that I am aware of, other than Lost Mine

I expect a HC adventure, a campaign setting, and PHB2.

With lots of the 2014 Wizard and Cleric options gone, we no longer have enough to actually cover the bases. Especially for divinity. There are so many gods that are a poor fit for the four cleric subclasses from PHB that I couldn't legitimately run a game and allow a full pantheon to the players.

So sure, we will likely see some best-of from the Everything books. I would be surprised if we didn't see at least some new material to keep away grumbles that "they're just selling us the same stuff again". But I think a PHB2 is critical to basic functioning of the game and so will be out in 2025 or early 2026.
