Is this a updated version of the current Midgard setting book? This being a players book will their be a Dms' guide to follow. Does it group some of the existing material of existing books into one book while updating it?
Yet another book I *need* to add to my collection. I must have it!

The Midgard Players Guide is the brand new, expanded and updated book full of class info, races, spells, and a ton more for players in the Midgard setting.
There is also a seperate book, the brand new, expanded and updated Midgard Worldbook, which give you everything you need to know about the Midgard setting!
I think the Midgard Worldbook should be available herenon Paizo as well ...
Zepplin Reference alone probably sold me! Good job marketing!
What Pantheons are utilized in this campaign setting?

Midgard has a very well defined set of gods and powers with a pretty unique twist via ‘masks’. The pantheon has roots in Norse myth as well as many others, and of course plenty of new gods and goddeses as well
Everything is extremely well detailed in the Worldbook and the Players Guide

Definately not just 5E!!
The massive Midgard Worldbook (due in in March) is system neutral and is for everyone who wants to learn everything about the Midgard campaign setting.
The Midgard Players Guide is the Pathfinder companion volume which give all the crunchy details players need to create characters and adventure in Midgard with the Pathfinder RPG. It is a major update for the setting and contains a ton of new, updated, and expanded player-oriented goodness!!
A similar companion volume, the Heroes Handbook, presents the same crunchy goodness for those wanting to adventure in Midgard using D&D 5E

Thanks, Marc.
Though now I don't know which one to spend money on. I already have quite some Midgard stuff for PF, but as my son has shown some interest in running games and I already bought him the 5E PHB, I'm thinking about buying him this in 5E Format as well, especially as he is a huge fan of real-world mythology and at the moment reads a lot of stuff steeped in norse mythology.

I see your conundrum!
In a perfect world (i.e., one where money is no concern :) you would just buy all three books ... plus the Midgard GM screen, etc!
You might get the Pathfinder Players book now (there is more than enough new and / or expanded info to make it well worth it!). Then pick up the Worldbook and 5E Heroes Handbook when they come in a couple months. That way the gaming budget doesn’t get hit all at once, you’ll be able to adventure in Midgard using whichever system you like, AND your son will be get a ton of enjoyment reading the Worldbook!
Bottom line for this thread though - if you play Pathfinder, this is a must-have book! :)
Now you've gone and done it. "Must have book!". I'll have to buy it now.
Still waiting until I feel better to review the New Paths Compendium Expanded, but I'll try to get it going this week.
Thanks, Marc!

No problem!
Since you mentioned the New Paths Compendium, I thought I'd mention that there is a fair amount of tie in / synergy between these two books - the Players Guide mentions / refers to classes in the New Paths Compendium in a number of instances in fact :)
