So it's not just a fluff book? If this is a for real adventure module, what rule set is it using? I can't see them using 4e rules, but the 5e rules won't be anywhere near polished enough to start publishing adventures. Or will they........
Regardless, it does sound like fun.
Want to know more about the history of D&D, especially how to play older editions of the game? Check out Crazy Monkey's "Tour through the editions":
http://community.wizards.com/crazymonkey/go/forum/view/133793/225799/Asylum_Play-by-Post
The current edition is BECMI, the most popular form of Basic D&D and the adventure is the classic Red Box quest to kill Bargle the evil magic user. Check it out, learn about the games roots, and enjoy the story as it unfolds.

I hope it's in 4e rules, it would be a shame to abandon the ruleset so quickly.
I prefer 2nd Edition AD&D. But I have played basic, 1E, 2E, 3.5, & 4E, and found all to be fun.
IF IT'S D&D, I'LL PLAY IT, NO MATTER THE EDITION.
Just roll some dice.

It's probably edition neutral, as 5e isn't far enough along to publish an adventure. Descriptions rooms and the like knowing people can slip in monsters of their choice. Not that an accompanying monster book woud be a are PDF Enancement to churn out.

a Niche (tabletop RPGs) inside a Niche (D&D) inside a Niche (a edition that haven't been released) inside a Niche (Forgotten Realms)...yeah...i can see why WotC believe this is a gold mine...not.
Well, they released menzoberranzan book wish is a Niche (TRPG) inside a Niche (D&D) inside a Niche (edition less/no crunch) inside a Niche (Forgotten Realms) inside a Niche (Menzoberranzan/Drow)...
EDIT: i also forgot...printed media such as books are also a Niche Market...so add a new "Niche Layer"

fwiw: this article said: "New D&D AdventuresSundering authors R.A. Salvatore and Ed Greenwood are also collaborating with D&D’s designers on new game content. They’re each providing the story and helping write a new playable adventure that will be released in 2013, allowing D&D players to be heroes of their own Sundering adventures.Since the D&D game is in between editions, these new modules will strive to be “platform agnostic.” The idea, says Mearls, is that both books will focus on providing story, color and characters, so they that can used by players using any version of the game. Edition specific details –like statistics for monsters– will be available separately, perhaps as a free download."

They did a few adventures back in the day for Dragonlance, that had SAGA and 2e stats/rules in the same book so you could play it in whichever game you preferred. Maybe they will do something like that, or like they are doing with the next season of Encounters.
