The revamped edition of the adventure is already available on D&D Beyond; the changes found in the revamped edition will be the errata already applied to the adventure.
As for the additional elements such as booklets and handouts, it's unlikely that D&D Beyond will offer those as the site generally only offers the books and not ancillary products.
In some articles and interviews, there was mention of changes to the adventure CoS itself to reflect the more inclusive representation of the Vistani. Are these changes the removal of restrictive alignment to groups of them as a whole, and the removal of problematic language/tropes as mentioned in the errata page, or are there more drastic changes that could completely alter encounters and who is encountered there?
The changes aren’t even that drastic (unless there’s more than what was already pushed to the digital products). Mostly just removing references to them being drunks and lazy. When the changes were rolled out to one platform before another (Roll20 & DDB), someone did a full comparison between the two. The changes were all good, removing some horribly racist stereotypes, but weren’t much beyond that. Definitely not reworking entire encounters.
So with the special edition being discussed over at Enworld https://www.enworld.org/threads/curse-of-strahd-revamped-boxed-collectors-edition.673545/ how much will it cost here and will we just have to buy the critter book?
