Looks like the first official Grand Tournament from will be back in 2017 in Warhammer World.

There is no mention if this will be expanded to include the bigger organized play events of old such as the last GTs in America back in 2008 in Balitmore, and Chicago.

But it would surely be nice to GW’s return to organized competitive play after a nearly 10 year absence.
