Yeah, it was announced a while ago, probably later this year.

The soundtrack is even getting a cassette tape and vinyl release.

Looking forward to this, would be considering getting the physical cart too but... limited run games

There's going to be an ultimate exA-Arcadia version of the game too. As usual for exa editions with additional content & modes.
No price yet, but it's going to cost somewhere between 800-1,900 smackers.
