Unofficially known as "Fifth Edition", but they might go all pretentious and just call it "Dungeons and Dragons".
The guys at Penny Arcade have sat down with the Senior Manager of R&D at D&D and chatted about the new system in preparation for their game on Saturday at PAX Prime. You can listen to the four-part podcast here: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx ... d/20120806
The Senior Creative Director has also been making some interesting blog posts on design and lore in the new edition, as well as taking votes from readers as to the creative direction of some of the monster art for the new world bible.

Not sure what I think about it all at the moment. It has some nice ideas, and seems to backtrack on some of 4th Edition's oddities while increasing the amount of character customisation, but there are Weird Things™ buried in there too. All to be expected I suppose. Have a look-see.
