Auf Facebook, Gruppe "Vampire: Elder Kindred Network", 19.03.2021, gibt Ben Peal zu einer Frage nach der Veröffentlichungs-Planung von BCP Antworten, die im Prinzip eine Update der früheren Nachrichten sind:
Ben Peal wrote: We don't have a set-in-stone release strategy, but here's the general framework (which is totally subject to change):

NEW STUFF
- We'll eventually do a pre-constructed deck for every clan represented in 5th Edition V:tM. 5 already published, 4 coming a few months from now, maaaaaybe a few more at the end of this year, and then a couple more by spring 2022.
- Each of these clans needs follow-up material to fill out the crypt groupings, plus more library cards. Ideally, this follow-up material (fixed-content bundles) should come out immediately after the associated pre-con decks, but we've been bad about that. But expect follow-up material for the first 9 clans late this year.
- An annual mini-set with a storyline angle. We're wrapping up production on one for this year as we speak, but a release date for it is going to depend on when we're all vaccinated and able to host events again.

PROMO CARDS
- An annual promo pack.
- Stuff for Continental Championship events.
- Marketing tie-ins with other licensed partners.

OLD STUFF
- We're gradually getting all of the White Wolf/CCP era cards onto DriveThruCards.com. When this stuff is published is kinda random. Generally speaking, we're updating the text templating for the cards and getting replacement artwork for the cards that need it. As a given batch of cards (typically clan + clan-specific discipline) is ready, we put it up on DriveThru. The ultimate goal with this project is to give V:TES a permanent home so there isn't a reason for it to ever be out of print again.
- We're working on getting the VEKN sets published. Details on that coming very soon.
Ben Peal wrote:Yeah, the "waves" are:

- Malkavian, Nosferatu, Toreador, Tremere, Ventrue (the V5 box set)
- Brujah, Gangrel, Banu Haqim, Ministry

And then the order of the next two hasn't yet been decided, but they'll be:

- Ravnos, Salubri, Tzimisce
- Hecata, Lasombra

The Hecata and Lasombra have to go together because of the Oblivion discipline. I'm not taking questions on the Hecata and Oblivion at this time - there's still a ton to figure out and develop there. The priority right now is to develop the follow-up sets for the first two waves.

Aus dem Vampire: Elder Kindred Network Newsletter March 2021 stammt diese Bestätigung der oben genannten Facebook-Diskussion:

https://www.vekn.net/2-uncategorised/50 ... march-2021
• One of the most common questions Black Chantry get is "What are the upcoming products?". In January, product director and lead designer Ben Peal answered this in an article at Blackchantry.com, but you have to understand that the company needs to be flexible because of various factors, for example the pandemic, printing scheduling, art issues and heavy workload for those involved. Ben gave a more elaborated answer on Facebook recently, here quoted in full:
