Explained at ENworld, Dark Sun (sort of) returns to D&D 5.5e2024: https://www.enworld.org/threads/dungeons-dragons-releases-new-unearthed-arcana-subclasses-strongly-hinting-at-dark-sun.714936/
Summary:
The Circle of Preservation Druid creates areas of preserved land that grants buffs to those who stand upon it.
The Gladiator adds secondary Weapon Mastery properties to their attacks, with bonus abilities. Notably, the Gladiator uses Charisma as its secondary stat.
The Defiled Sorcerer can expend its hit dice to amp up damage to its attacks and can also steal the life of its targets to deal additional damage. [[[sounds a lot like DCC SpellBurn, but stealing from enemy is nice]]]
The Sorcerer-King Patron gains a number of abilities tying into tyranny and oppression, with the ability to cast Command as a Bonus Action without expending a spell slot, causing targets to gain the Frightened Condition, and forcing those who attack them to re-roll successful attacks.
It sounds interesting. Do NOT look at the art, ... it's not Dark Sun art at all, it's the usual corporate soulless stuff.
