I haven't heard anything yet. Other than the speculations from the fans.
I expect that we will be getting preview blog posts like we did with PC1 though. Probably after the next convention event.

I haven't heard much about what could be changing about Oracle. What's the word? Or what would you like to see changed? Oracle is actually my favorite caster but I would not turn down some buffs and/or fixes.
The Remaster Project panel of the stream will happen today, about 3 hours from now. We'll find out much more then, both from the stream and from the following Discord post-panel discussion and employee AMAs.
The only thing teased about Oracles in the Keynote is that they will now have to deal with a new Cursebound condition. So we get to chew on that until the panel.

From a writeup:
A lot of changes for the Oracle, its a cool concept, it made it hard to get power into your hands when you need it. They’ve done a lot to make them simpler, but if you want more disruptive curse effects, you can take them later to opt in. Cursebound condition, 1 2 3 or 4, you get access to higher levels of it later, whenever you use something with the trait it advances– but its not focus spells anymore, those are still here, but they don’t advance your curse. Every mystery gets one, for instance reach/widen as a free action in exchange for cursebound. You might be clumsy based on your cursebound, or vuln to magic, it sounds like it’s different per mystery. Quality of life, some mysteries had trouble getting spells they wanted, the give twice as many domains now, and come with a granted spell list like a deity does. They put more oracle flavor into the feats, james favorite epiphany of the crossroads, you have to be dying, but you can receive a vision, and get a big heal from it. Thousand visions for example, available to any mystery reduces your vision of far away things, but increases your vision for close things.

Sounds like a big revision.

Nice. Looking forward to this. I like oracles conceptually. Very much a fantasy trope the cursed user of magic.
