Future expansions.

And I also like that they will be released first.

That's no longer a certainty, as the developer has changed. There are several possible scenarios: first, a DLC with mages, and then an expansion with dark elves; the opposite; only elves are released (they appear more often in the plot than mages); or nothing at all. But! We already see so many bugs in the game, even with only 5 factions... And this is the work of the original developers. What should we expect from the successors?... Of course, we should hope for the best, but I spent almost half a year discussing this in the main thread for the sixth installment. And the more you get your hopes up, the more painful it is to accept reality. Therefore, firstly, I'm not expecting anything anymore, and secondly, I believe that the sixth game needs to be polished to a mirror shine (i.e., no bugs and good balance, plus tweaking the skill system and simplifying the editor), and several missing elements should be implemented (town screen, random map generator, simultaneous turn system). Then, we should put a period at the end, find a worthy developer, and start working on the next installment, because the sixth game is ruined.
