I can now confirm that Nikon will announce a new Nikkor Z 600mm f/6.3 PF lens next week (previously reported here). The announcement will most likely be on Tuesday or Wednesday (on or around October 10th). I am not sure if this will be a development-only announcement. Here is what to expect:
A reminder that Nikon will no longer provide a roadmap for future/upcoming lenses:

Yesterday I posted about a listing by a German retailer (now already removed) for a new Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 DI III VC VXD lens for Nikon Z-mount (Model A057).
Several readers (thanks Mistral75 and RomanP!) noticed that one of the pictures from the listings showed the rear view of the lens and it is indeed for Nikon Z-mount (from left to right Nikon Z – Fujifilm X – Sony E):
