Discovery investor conference, where current CEO David Savlov said the new video game will be released in 2023, even though no announcement has been made about the game so far.

As of now, there is no indication as to when this next game will be announced. It could possibly be announced at Summer Game Fest, or possibly its own stand-alone announcement. However, we will continue to monitor as more details become available.
