Two campaign books available for preorder, henceforth abbreviated as "WDM" & "DotMM"

[BloodOgre]

Anyone notice that the two new books coming out in September and October are "Waterdeep Dragon Heist" for 1-5th lvl and "Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage" for 5-10th lvl and details 23 levels of UnderMountain? Are these the two "new" settings?

A popular online marketplace is taking pre-orders:

No they are not the new settings mentioned. Yes these are well known and have been discussed elsewhere in this forum.

Where? I tried using advanced search, but all I found was this thread, and a 3-page long thread of people bickering about the fact that 5e claims to be setting-neutral but half their stuff is FR-based. I haven't found an actual discussion of the Waterdeep adventure season - which is a shame, because the AD&D 2nd Edition Undermountain boxed set is one of my favorite D&D products of all time, and this is a better 5e-version of that.

Waterdeep is a prominent city in Forgotten Realms, which wouldn't be a new setting even for 5th ed. They're just modules, though Dragon Heist promises to have an emphasis on social stuff and intrigue, which is relativly novel for a module.
