I would expect the pandemic situation to set back any new product introduction back by at least a year, maybe two. To buy all of the components to make a force or red group usually requires ordering from several suppliers. I found force axs hrd shifters fairly quickly with a Google search. I bought two partial force groups in mid 2020, so I'm set for awhile. Sram needs to offer cranks with more range. I have grx 48/31 cranks and recently bought two 10-33 cassettes and two more chains.
Most European sources won't sell to US customers. Sram prohibits it.
I also would expect mechanical groups to be discontinued, unless sram wants to try supplying parts for low end bikes.
