We have recently had a(nother) Grand Revision of the production schedule here, so it seems like a good idea to kick of 2026's schedule early!

Please note that release dates listed here are expected PDF releases and pre-order dates - printed editions will likely appear 3-4 months later. Though we will be updating this particular post rather than appending more, you are welcome to make comments and ask questions in this thread!

December
Cluster Truck:
For centuries the Truckers have kept the worlds of the Estuary Cluster connected. Long years, hard years, but proud years. Trucking is a way of life, even if it ends with a Trucker’s Wake. Now the corporate shipping lines want to take over the spacelanes. Canaveral Station is under blockade, rigs impounded and crews in the slammer. The only thing left to do is hold a wake for a way of life. This is a complete campaign that will see your Travellers take command of their own small craft, hauling cargo across a system. They will steal potatoes, get covered in frozen beer in deep space, take part in a history-making riot, uncover corporate skullduggery, and smash a blockade while confounding local law enforcement!

February
The Core Expeditions:
The Zhodani expeditions towards the galactic core are perhaps the greatest exploratory endeavours Humaniti has ever attempted. What drives them? What have they encountered? What is it like to be part of their scouting fleets or outpost building crews? Take part in pushing back the frontier on the very cutting edge of Charted Space.

Vehicle Handbook Update 2026: With both vehicle rules and the construction system re-written from the ground up, the Vehicle Handbook Update 2026 is not just a graphical update but a complete replacement for the core vehicle rules for Traveller. Expect a mighty tome from fan-favourite Geir Lanesskog comprising a multitude of new options, from humble push bikes and horse-drawn wagons, to aerospace interceptors, land ships and floating cities!

March
Brushfires:
Any great empire will find itself embroiled in ‘brushfire wars’ among its possessions and colonies. Forgotten by most citizens, these conflicts flare up and sputter out over time. Now, against the backdrop of the Fifth Frontier War, the brushfires of Aramis threaten to consume the whole Towers Cluster. Brushfires sees a crew of independent Travellers follow a simple job straight into the heart of an erupting warzone, where they will see great heroics and villainous opportunists as they try to thread their way through the fighting.

April
The Vehicle Catalogue:
Packed full of vehicles of all Tech Levels, The Vehicle Catalogue explores just what is possible with the new Vehicle Handbook 2026! Whether your Travellers need a taxi across town, the latest in grav speeder technology, or a fully armed and armoured gunship, they will find everything they need in The Vehicle Catalogue!

The Infinity Suite: The Infinity Suite will be the most perfect musical piece in the history... once it is finished. Right now the Travellers are MCr75 in debt, being chased by repo crews who want their illegally modified starship back, facing a career-ending plagiarism lawsuit... and the Suite is a musical shambles. Arriving in the Islands subsectors just ahead of their problems, the Travellers need to make a name for themselves and find the inspiration to finish the Suite. On the way they must deal with the usual rock 'n' roll problems - planetary revolution, interstellar conflict, fanatical cultists intent on murdering them, and the odd runaway cow.

Traveller Rules Compendium: Losing gaming time to tracking down that obscure little rule in a supplement? The Traveller Rules Compendium, headed by Geir Lanesskog, compiles all those rules systems from across two editions of Traveller, updates them, adds some more, and then lets you browse for the perfect rule at the perfect moment during your campaign!

June
Consular Envoy:
A hundred days out of Cronor Naval Base, diplomatic transport vessel Sifrshonz meets disaster. Ambushed by an Imperial cruiser, the ship and her mission are wrecked. With the command crew and Consular Envoy dead, the Travellers must decide: do they turn for home or plunge into the Outrim Void seeking a way to somehow complete their mission? Their voyage will take the Travellers to the dead world of Ganulph, and to mysterious Belgard where they will unlock a secret hidden for five centuries.

Aliens of Charted Space Vol. 1 Update 2026: This was one of the very early books released for this edition of Traveller - and so it is time for an Update to these ever-present aliens. Expect glorious new artwork throughout, a thorough update of ships, vehicles and weapons... and maybe some tweaks to the aliens themselves...

The Aslan Hierate: The next 'empire' book to land for Traveller, this mighty tome covers all things Aslan, from commerce, to warfare, to clan politics. This will be the resource for adventures into the Hierate, all carefully curated by Aslan expert Randy Dorman. Also includes a good detailing of Hlakhoi sector.

July
Fleets of the Minor Powers:
Focus naturally falls on the big players of the Fifth Frontier War. However, there is a lot more filling the void with lasers, missiles and particle beams than just the Zhodani Consulate and Imperial Navy. This book takes a look at the fleet structures, doctrine, actions and ships of the more minor powers involved in the war - the Sword Worlds, Darrians, Vargr, Federation of Arden and some of the mercenaries taking part.

Nous Voila (working title): A trilogy of adventures set on the world of Nous Voila on the French Arm, together with a gazetteer of the planet. Your Travellers will find themselves caught between intelligence agencies and terrorists, investigating a murder on a world-spanning airfilm train, and being cut off in a remote lodge during the dead of winter while surrounded by creatures that may not be entirely natural.

August
The Fall of Lanth:
Lanth lies on the far side of the Abyss Rift, facing the Sword Worlds Confederation. Its naval base is a bastion against an offensive across the rift and into the Spinward Main. Caught planetside as the invasion fleets arrive, the Travellers witness a planetary invasion from far too close. They will see a proud city pummelled to ruins around them, witness triumph and retreat, and perhaps alter the fate of the world.

September
Favourites at Court:
At the height of the Imperial Crisis, disunity threatens the defence of the Spinward Marches. Duchess Delphine calls upon the Travellers to represent her in a plea to Duke Norris of Regina – stand together or watch the sector fall. The Travellers must voyage from Mora to Macene, then on to Regina, on a diplomatic mission threatened by ambush and insurrection.

October
Kreuzerkrieg:
Join the crew of the a Sword Worlds raiding cruiser! Your Travellers will be taking part in that most glamorous of actions, diving deep into Imperial space aboard a lone warship and fighting a hit and run war against a more technologically sophisticated enemy. Only your wits will keep your ship and crew together as you fight for the future of the Sword Worlds.

November
Pretoria Command:
Take part in actions by and against the Vargr in the Pretoria and Aramis subsectors, and across the Imperial border to coreward. Expect action on a smaller scale, with corsair ships, piracy and skulduggery!

December
The Turning Tide:
A wider look at the Fifth Frontier War before we dive into its final stages. With this book you will be able to consider the actions your Travellers and other characters have taken in past adventures, and determine how they have affected the wider course of the war. Have your Travellers altered the outcome of the Fifth Frontier War, and are they on a path that might greatly affect the balance of power in the Spinward Marches?

We also have the following titles in the works, at varying stages of planning, outlining and writing!

Exciting! I hope the mooted change to the Aslan stat bonuses and subtractions doesn't go through, though. Not to sound like an old fuddy-duddy, but it's been fine as it is for literally longer than I've been alive. And I've been alive for way too long.
 
Messiahs of the World Ocean. Which game system is that for?

Please can you expand on the background of this product? Is it a revision of Nomads of the World Ocean?
 
And suddenly my gaming shopping list grows by four items. Consular Envoy comes out of the blue but definitely piques my interest as I REALLY liked Delta Three is Down (?) froms BITS many years ago.
 
Pirates of Drinax Anniversary Edition is that a revised or just some sort of deluxe version? Also what setting is cluster truck in or is it its own separate setting?
 
Another question the Rules compendium you state it two editions, what editions are we talking about Mongoose T1 & T2 if so why? The book will be useless if I have to sort through and separate one edition from the other, I know they are similar but there are some changes that could cause issues

Maybe they're bringing back in the older rules that were dropped but not superseded. Like the POD rules for the Element Class Cruisers. One can hope.

There is an Estuary Cluster off to the side of the Solomani Rim Expeditions corridor. I believe it's currently an apocrypha entry on the Traveller map, but it makes sense as the location.

That said, I don't have an official answer.
