The next album (and I firmly believe there is one complete and it was delayed out of their control - see Danny Brown) will be space and/or tech-themed.
Announcement: will it be a simple "here's our new album, it's dropping on *insertdate*" or would/should we expect something more? Personally, I could see them going further down the tech route. The TH ARG was incredible, but unlikely to be repeated - that being said, with the explosive rise in AI and VR/AR tech within the last few years, could we see something like a companion art app released? I believe someone else did something similar recently (AFX?), so I wouldn't necessarily think it would be the same - but could we see some sort of art companion merged with tech as part of this release?
I have absolutely nothing to base any of this on, so take it as you will...but their work so far has covered so many different themes that I wouldn't be shocked to see space/tech represented. I may be letting my own personal bias drive this a little bit, but hey! It's all speculation anyway, haha!
Maybe we'll get ourselves an update of the video game on their early website. MDG said (lol in 2015) that a new website would be up with news on what they were doing. Maybe it'll be a new fangled website based on what you're describing.
Of course 2015 was a long friggin time ago. But I'm sure there is gonna be something fancy done like what they did with Aphex recently. Not to mention the OPN phone calls!
