Castles in Germany and The Festival in C3

That's the expansion for the 10th Anniversary. I see them as two different expansions, one for the 10th and one for the 15th, that just happen to have the same name. I think it's reasonable what they're doing: they're remaking the 15th anniversary expansion to update the graphics, the 15 remains. If they decided to remake the 10th anniversary expansion, the 10 also would remain.
At least, this is how I understood how things in Carcassonne work

Maybe. By situation in MINDOK (publisher for Czech, Slovak and Polish version of Carcassonne), I think you are right.
In MINDOK they always say, C3 is not new design like new edition (C2) was in 2014. This is just update.
So by this I think there will be brand new expansion in 25th Anniversary. Or they publish 20th anniversary expansion as standalone expansion in C3(4) design.

As The Festival came in 2 editions that commemorate the 10th and then the 15th anniversary (of whatever, not the game launch, but that is how HiG count, anyway) and differ in art as the first fits into C1 period of Doris Matthäus and the second into C2 period of Anne Pätzke, wouldn´t it be a natural thing to launch now a third edition that would acknowledge the new C3 art and an anniversary that it missed just by few months?
I remember that when the very first glimpses of Carc20 anniversary edition were revealed, many comments were expressing a worry that another mere iteration of The Festival may be a part of it. That was not the case. Now that HiG decided to rework and reedit The Festival, it is still beyong my comprehension why, while altering the design of the tiles anyway (as they sport the C3 art now), they could not update the number at least. It would make the item much more palatable to me. But no.

Because they didn't release a new anniversary expansion, they just renewed the graphics of the 15th anniversary expansion. Festival I (the 10th anniversary edition) came out in 2011 and of course Festival II (the 15th anniversary edition) came out five years later, in 2016. The 20th Anniversary Edition came out in 2021. I guess in 2026 they will do something for the 25th anniversary (maybe a Festival III with the number 25 on it!) but this year (2022) there is no anniversary to celebrate.

2000/1 - Carcassonne is born
2011 - Festival I (10th anniversary edition)
2016 - Festival II (15th anniversary edition)
2021 - 20th Anniversary Edition
2022 - nothing to celebrate/no number to update
2026 - Festival III (25th anniversary edition) ?

Just my 2 cents, I have no deep knowledge of how things actually work at HiG.

The 20th Anniversary Expansion was included in the 20th Anniversary Edition... The one with 15 tiles and these symbols:

The Castles of Germany C3 are online.

[Meepledrone]

I wrote to Cundco to double check if this is finally for real...

Except the German product tile all the rest is still C2 both in the English and German entries...

Let's see what they have to say.

C3 is only a myth  ...

[Meepledrone]

It is going to become an expensive myth if everything starts to be converted to C3...

Mmh... If I learned anything about the C2/C3 differences, that's still C2...

[Meepledrone]

The images and the rules are still those of C2.

[Meepledrone]

Confirmed by Cundco:

Yes Carcassonne 3.0 - Castles in Germany are on sale now.

Finally, the item name and its description reflect that it is C3 in both German and English, although the images and the rules for download are still from C2.

Carcassonne wasn't built in a day, right?

[Bumsakalaka]

Well. It's good to add to WiCa and Carcapedia that is replaced these days when old C2 version was sold.
Maybe, when you have contact to cundco, it will be good to ask if C2 versions were reprinted in previous years

I've added these to my C3 tuckbox collection, as well as a C3 tuckbox for Cathedrals in Germany because I suspect that might be next.

[Bumsakalaka]

Nope. Cathedrals redesign was released in 2020. So question is how quickly will be sold. I think it will be not before 2025.
