On May 17, 2022, we will release Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse. See the link below for a description. On this date, Volo's Guide to Monsters and Tome of Foes will no longer be available to purchase.
Although MOTM collects and modifies monsters and races from Volo's Guide to Monsters and Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, those changes will not be reflected in either of the two older modules. Customers who want the newer versions of the monsters, newer images, newer tokens, races, etc., will need to purchase the new module for Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse. If a customer owns both the new module and the old modules, then they will see multiple listings for search results and will need to choose which version they want to use.
The Dungeon Master will be able to use the Allow Content or Block Content flags in the library to turn off or on those options within the Library for any players in their campaigns.
Link to the Monsters of the Multiverse Store Page. It will be LIVE for purchase on May 17th.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is going to happen if I own all of the existing content from VGtM and MToF and don't buy MotM?
A: You won’t need to take any action on older content, as it will not be removed from your account, be hidden from you, or have its statistics changed!
Q: Will I be able to access older content in a campaign?
A: Yes! If you own the older content that content will still be accessible.
Q: Will I still have access to a character race created using VGtM or MToF?
A: Yes! If you own that book you will still have access to that race and character. Any existing characters will not be changed with the release of MotM. Those who purchase MotM will be able to update their characters themselves by selecting the new race.
Q: Will the character races in MotM be available in addition to the old versions?
A: Character races presented in this new book (MotM) are new versions of existing character races. Purchasing MotM will not replace older character races, but rather, will provide new ones with updates compared to the originals. If you want to use the new version of the Tabaxi, for example, you will need to purchase the new book. If you already own a character race that has been updated in the new title, you will continue to have access to them in their current state; that character race will not be changed or updated.
Q: If I want one of my characters to use the new content in Monsters of the Multiverse, but not another, will that be possible?
A: If your Dungeon Master allows, then yes. Talk to the Dungeon Master running your game. If the game hasn’t started yet, this would be perfect to bring up during your Session Zero.
Q: I built an encounter with monsters from my MToF and VGtM purchases. Will that still be usable after May 17th if I don't buy MotM?
A: Absolutely! Your previously owned content is not being removed from your account. Your encounter, and the monsters in it, will remain intact.
Q: Will two versions of every monster be maintained in your system?
A: If you own the old content and purchase the new content, yes, you will have two different versions of official content.
Q: Will I have to purchase Monsters of Multiverse on each digital platform even if I already own Volo’s and Mordy’s? What if I own Volo’s but not Mordy’s and vice versa?
A: Whatever book content you already own on each digital platform will still be accessible for your use, and to gain access to both the new and updated content in Monsters of Multiverse, you will need to purchase Monsters of Multiverse.
Q: Can I still buy Volo’s Guide to Monsters or Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes?
A: Currently, yes. However, both books will be removed from the Marketplace and removed for sale when Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse is released on May 17th.
