Is there any intention to release an all-in-one device that replaces the Traktor S8?

Given the success of the Traktor S8, is Native Instruments likely to release a new flagship controller with enhanced features such as larger touchscreens, more integrated effects, and deeper software integration?

    First: I am not employed at NI and just a user of their products, therefore I have no knowledge about this. And if I had I surely wouldn't allowed to talk about.

    Considering how long Traktor Kontrol S8 isn't available anymore I don't expect an S8 Mk2 or another direct successor to be released at all. Usually NI sells a product until the successor is available. (S4 Mk2, X1 Mk2, Z1 were all available until S4 Mk3, X1 Mk3 and Z1 Mk2 were available). Especially as S8 left some classic paths (no jog-wheels) it was a niche product somehow - like S5 and D2. And all three were discontinued without direct replacement.
