Not sure what it will be. It may have an EVF. May not even have a shutter. If they limit the shutter speed to 1/500 like the old Rolleiflex then there isn't a need for mechanical shutter.
They said it has a 70mm f/2.8 lens so the sensor should be large.

TLR cameras were actually useful in a number of applications. They are quite good for street photography. The camera can be left near the waist and the subject may be unaware that you are making an exposure. Portraits with the camera on a tripod. You can look directly at the subject and engage them while making exposures at the correct moment. This is much like the use of a view camera but easier as multiple shots are super easy.
TLR cameras of course a NOT good for macros and long telephoto work. Mamiya TLRs did have interchangable lenses for modest telephoto work like portraits.
Check out the photos by Vivian Maier. Are your photos this good? As I recall she primarily used a TLR.

Let's get back to the news about the camera. I won't even consider buying it unless the image in the viewfinder is reversed and there is great parallax error up close. If they don't restore these precious features, what's the point? It could be more popular than vinyl if they get it right. Did you ever feel that the people who used these things looked like nerds?
everyone that uses a camera looks like a nerd!
