Here is a new leaked image of the upcoming Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM II (SEL85F14GM2). The image was leaked by Mike on Reddit. Sony will announce the lens on August 28 at 3 p.m. London time. It will be a bit smaller and lighter than the old 85mm GM. It can be seen that it uses a new ALC-SH180 lens hood.

Compared to the old lens, the new version has a new location for the customization button, a new IRIS lock and aperture marks that are now under the aperture ring. Image quality is said to be much improved over its seven-year-old predecessor.

I am 99% sure that no other new Alpha lenses or cameras will be announced on August 28. Sony’s next announcement should follow in early September, before the start of the IBC trade show.
