Hi, I am a pretty new player and DM (only playing the game for a few months). I played both the 2014 version and the 2024 version and I like the 2024 version much more and want to stick to it as much as possible. At the same time, I am interested in the content of Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse, but there is no "Compatible with the 2024 core rulebooks" flag on this in the marketplace. Does that mean I can expect a reprint of this book (I only care about the digital version) for the new rules? Or is that not happening and I should just buy the book now as it is even though it's all legacy content?
The book is pretty close to the 2024 rules since it was one of the last products released before the rules revamp: it's identical for most of the Player species options and the monsters are pretty similar even if they use the 2014 format for their statblocks. I doubt that there will be any new replacement for its content any time soon.
Yeah; that book was to touch up and consolidate the better part of 10 years of assorted PC races. They're not gonna do another like it for a while. I give it at least another 2 years, more likely 3, before they even do another Tome of Foes or Guide to Monsters type book.

The developers specifically chose the species in the 2024 PHB to play, however, not wanting to cause a riot, they added an option for players to convert all other playable species over. That's entirely a DM's choice to do so.
Even in a post-2024 landscape, I think MPMM is worth it even if just for the species options. Their power level is decently comparable to 2024 PHB species, and you get some interesting/fun options like Hobgoblin and Kobold and Centaur that can enable unique builds.
As for whether they'll reprint MPMM anytime soon - the newest Forgotten Realms supplement tells you to go there for some species traits (such as Duergar) so make of that what you will.

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.

One issue is that the MotMM monsters seem to have fairly low damage output, so they might end up being really weak compared to a 2024 party.
