Will soon Samyang announce a new E-mount zoom?

The only zoom in Samyang’s lineup is this 24-70mm f/2.8 lens

I just got this from a new source (Thanks!):

Samyang is going to announce a new lens end of this month. It’s new to Samyang but it is not new to Sony users. It’s a zoom and it’s a portrait champion.

This sounds like we are getting a 70-200mm f/2.8 E-mount lens…what do you think?
