Here is the latest Nikon Z lens roadmap version 5.3 as of January 2023 – there are now 6 upcoming lenses to be announced this year (2023):

NIKKOR Z 12-28mm DX PZ lens
NIKKOR Z 24mm DX lens
NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S lens
NIKKOR Z 70-180mm f/2.8 lens (non-S)
NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S lens
NIKKOR Z 200-600mm f/6.3 lens (non-S)

I think the 24mm DX lens will fill a longstanding hole, although there is now a 23mm option from Viltrox I believe. I imagine DX shooters will be happy about the 12-28 as well.

I'm an FX shooter and am very interested in the 35, though I'm not sure I'll be able to spring for it.

The latest roadmap (as of 11 April 2023) was released on 5 January 2023 when Nikon pre-announced the 85mm/f1.2 S and 26mm/f2.8 pancake at the CES. Actually no maximum aperture is specified for any one of those six, no-yet-officially-announced lenses. However, I think it is reasonable to assume the 35mm S will be an f1.2, different from the existing 35mm/f1.8 S and the 70-180 Tamron transplant is also f2.8, matching the existing Tamron lens. The 200-600 is like f6.3 on the long end, as I have been speculating since it first got onto the roadmap in October 2019.

I bet we'll get a 28mm f/1.8 S lens in 2024. I think it's too important of a focal length for Nikon to leave out of the 1.8 lineup altogether. My guess is they delayed it to allow the 28mm f/2.8 compact to sell some copies.

I'll likely order 200-600mm the moment it is announced.
It fills the gap I have at the moment in my lens line-up. I have 70-200/2.8 and the 800/6.3 (I sold my 200-500 while ago already).
f/6.3 is not optimal, but as 800/6.3 has shown me, it is completely fine....mostly.
Anything faster would make it too expensive for me at the moment I guess.
Of course hoping that it is faster than f/6.3 at 200mm.

There is no evidence the 200-600 will be f/6.3 constant aperture - NR states it will be variable aperture in the same bit they say it could be a 180-600mm
 
Nikon deleted the 120-300 f2.8 amount about a month ago at

- and Canon announced an ML 100-300 f2.8 yesterday.

It is probable Nikon are working on an S mount upgrade for their 120-300 f2.8.
