Even if they could, why would they release that product before the HX stuff is otherwise OEL?
Helix 3.8 when?

Apart from that, look at the current generation of modelers. Everyone's cooking with water, as the saying goes.
Younger competitors have touch screens, a bit more DSP, and some of them come with capturing/profiling capabilities, but that's it.
The "shitloads of DSP" follow-ups haven't hit the streets so far, and the "new features we didn't even know we wanted" are still hidden inside someone's fortune teller toolbox.
We'll most definitely know it when it's out there.

Because line 6 doesn’t really make cripple ware or freemium stuff.

Bought a new macbook two days ago, plugged my stomp in tonight after installing hx edit. It said "new firmware available" Fuck yes 3.8 is here!!!! I thought happily.
Turns out it was 3.71 and I'd not updated it in January cause the stomps been living on my pedalboard. Le sigh

not so soon
November is my guess as Line6 seems to like that month for releases

It is curious and at the same time a little demotivating to see that this update no longer excites users and to spice it up... l6 takes almost a year for a launch that "will not be so big, nor so important"... the time has come to get rid of 2015 hardware?

What makes you think that? I rather think that people have realized in recent years that wild speculation in advance and constant, impatient inquiries do not shorten the waiting process. Having said that…
@Digital Igloo are we there yet?

Why exactly?
Even if I stop using the Stomp on my main pedalboard (for which there might be reasons one day), I could still imagine a whole bunch of things I'd be using it for. As long as I can run a matching version of HX Native and HX Edit along with it, it'll likely never be outdated for me.
And all this considering there'd never be any further updates. It just suits a whole lot of purposes exactly as is.

stomp is a different beast... (and it is not 2015 hardware)... I consider that the stomp is unbeatable!... I would have one again even if it were not updated anymore! I'm just saying, it takes you too long for a small update (badly raised child tantrum)

If I read the above statement correctly, then this release will include two amp-engine revisions, the November 2023 revision, and the Fall 2024 revision. Since I'm pretty happy and set with my presets, amp-engine improvements are the most exciting thing to me.

I don't keep my Helix to be excited with updates, but to play music with it. And it looks like it will keep being useful for that for a few more years xD
But yeah, I miss the old hype a bit. I'd be really hyped with more modulation effects or poly synths.
And while I love amps and cabs, I have more than I need right now. But hey, I updated all my presets recently to switch cleans to Line6 Clarity and slightly dirty to Brit 2203, so I'm curious about new additions :)

Some new synths would be nice
Ironically, I prefer the legacy synths compared to any of the newer models
