Wizards of the Coast has said the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons rules revisions will be compatible with 5th edition rather than a replacement for it, and is calling the revised core rulebooks the "2024" editions. If you're a veteran of the edition wars, they seem more like 4th edition's "Essentials" line than 3rd edition's complete replacement by 3.5.
The latest update on D&D Beyond covers the 10 species players will be able to choose from in the 2024 Player's Handbook. While mostly familiar, there are a few options that weren't in the 2014 rulebook. Aasimar and goliaths are both core choices now, and half-orcs have been replaced by just plain orcs.
