2 UB sets per year starting next year:

Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks told investors on February 13th that two of the trading card game’s six annual premiere sets will be dedicated Universes Beyond crossovers starting in 2025.

Looks like these will be pushing out a Masters or other large non-premier set too:

This may end up pushing out or replacing a tentpole set (a business-only term the company uses for its six annual major releases) to make room for whatever comes after Final Fantasy and several Marvel-themed releases.

Two? Jeez, I just do prereleases because there's too much to keep up with. In the PTQ/GP era I was grinding 3+ events a week. It's just so damn deluted.

That's at least one too many.

On the one hand, LotR could have been done better. But on the other, maybe we'll see something else neat after several attempts.
