What's up with this tweet from Ilford? New film? New paper?

I agreeHopefully, it's not a "new and improved" version of one of their existing great products.
That is the trend in the industry...It seems strange that it should issue such a teasing message with little substance in it and I can find nothing, not even a hint on Ilford's own site
A true 1600 film. Was neopan 1600 true or just a pushed 800 film?Not sure how they can improve on their B/W films... filling a speed gap, perhaps? 50, 100, 400, 3200... Maybe 1600? What I really want is an IR film that is at least 820 sensitised or beyond. SFX is "okay" but...

This puzzles me. They have everything for 50, 100, 125, 200, 400, 800-1000 (aka 3200) speeds, plus infrared sensitive medium... Pan F50+ can be pulled to EI25 as well. What else can they introduce that will be worth introducing? Film is somewhat niche product nowadays and they surely wouldn't make a niche product WITHIN niche product...Not sure how they can improve on their B/W films... filling a speed gap, perhaps? 50, 100, 400, 3200...

I can't read it without being a member of Instagram unfortunately...

Ilford replied in the comments it will NOT be a colour film.Color film my friend.
I was thinking the same, scrolling down to read all posts before adding mine.Color film my friend.
They denied it on the twitter reply feed, at least referring to an user that said Ilfocolor. "That's a definite no"Color film my friend.
Maybe a reversal B&W?Ilford replied in the comments it will NOT be a colour film.
