There is a Gencon Online panel on twitch on Thursday called Paizo 2020 and Beyond. I would assume announcements are going to be made then.
Would you know what time, and maybe provide a link.

Secrets of Magic featuring the "new" classes Magus and Summoner!
Not many details, as Erik ran a bit long, but hopefully the panel starting now will have more information.

When is the playtest starting? I was kind of half-watching and missed it.
Is that a rulebook or a Lost Omens book?

Rulebook. It's next year's GenCon release, like the APG this time.

Oh nice I really liked the summoner concept but it was a bit hard to deal with in pf1 with the new edition though it should be pretty reasonable to get balanced I would imagine it would be like a very animal companion focused type class with spell stuff that can bolt on upgrades to your pet.

The playtest will run from September 7th through October 18th.
Any news for the Lost Omens line?
Any news for the Lost Omens line?
Not yet, nothing beyond the Ancestry Guide in February. And no confirmed release for the Absalom book either--so expect that early 2021... or later, is my guess.
There's a panel with Luis Loza tomorrow, so perhaps he is getting to be in charge of teasing the next Lost Omens product?

If not, they said they would be spreading more announcements out through the rest of Con season, instead of giving it all out at Gencon. For instance, the second half 2021 APs weren't announced.

I wonder what the release cadence is going to be and is "Secrets of x" going to be the new "Ultimate x"?
Jason already shot that one down during the Q&A. They will not be using naming conventions and product series in the way they did in 1e. Things will be named and built to suit the material/need. Also, Erik said Bestiary 3 will be the last Bestiary. Future adversary/monster material will be released in different formats.

Well, we know the next one won't be Secrets of Combat, since someone asked that on stream. Jason and the others made a fair few jokes at the expense of that name.
I think they're really enjoying the idea of not locking themselves into series all the time. That's the impression I get, and part of why we aren't seeing an Ultimate line.

Thanks for the info everyone! I'm glad they aren't locking themselves into a series. I will always welcome MOAR! monsters but 3 Bestiaries is enough for the base game. Everything that comes after this will be gravy!
EDIT:
By not locking themselves into a specific cadence of one series book and one bestiary they open up a lot of room. I'm expecting a "Lost Omens" campaign book in the first part of the year and a "Pathfinder Core" book for the GenCon release with a wild card in there to spice it up.
So 2 - 3 hardbacks a year? That's more sustainable for me and slows down the amount of new rules coming in so that it isn't overwhelming. I'd just like to see them get all of the legacy stuff done with.

There'll probably be a main splatbook of some kind, some kind of Lost Omens book, and maybe a monster book. So maybe 2-3, yeah.
Gives them more time to publish more standalone adventures, and try other books whenever they get a chance. But even the rest of this year and first half of next year will be particularly packed, given the Absalom/Dead God's Hand books and the Beginner's Box/Troubles in Otari books.

So did he tease it?
Nope. He doesn't think there is anything more to announce at this time, sadly. I'm super curious.
Though it could be the Absalom book delaying their whole process a bit.

Secret of Magic and their response during Q&A sounds like they are going to do more modular books around a theme(like the plane book, mythic, occult book and horror book from 1e... Speaking of which I still want mythic and corruptions to come back in some form ;P). Like after bestiary 3 it sounds like they are looking to more themed bestiaries (like maybe ooze bestiary or something? I'm not exactly sure what kind of themes they meant) rather than general "everything in this book" bestiaries.
But yeah, I'm sad nobody probably asked about Devastators whether they return in bestiary 3 and have lost their mythic subtype like they did in playtest xD
