Will there be new campaigns? It seems the only new stuff is future new civs?

I love the story of Arkantos, and then his sons, even the silly & short dwarf campaign, but wish we can get more campaigns, maybe focused on each other heroes past/future? Like Ajax, Amanra, or even background for Gargarensis him starting as a good guy but falling to the dark side like Anakin? lol

I would be OK for even a completely new story, as long as it fits in to the story, but it feels like this game is purely focused on multiplayer aspect, and not much on the lore & story which was the main selling point tbh

We might.
At least we can expect a new or a rework of the chinese campaign from Tale of the Dork.

But their treatment in de3 implies that they steer clear from doing new campaigns and only make a compilation of scenarios that are unrelated to each other or at least are themed to new civs in that game with the setting and geopolitical circumstances.

There will be no new campaigns at launch, that we can expect.

that chinese campaign was atrocious, hopefully that will be deleted directly from the source code

More campaigns, and remastered original campaigns, sounds great. I would hope there's a totally redone Chinese campaign, and a campaign for the new faction.
Biggest change would be fixing some plot issues with the Atlantean campaign! "How did he cross the world so fast, and so many times? How are there suddenly so many zillions of Atlanteans working directly for the titans once they start appearing? What the hell was Arkantos doing that left the Atlanteans abandoned in the cold wilderness without any help from their allies?"

And not make them completely change technology, architecture and language basically overnight like in the original.
Yes, they lost their home, and that does justify drastic changes. But there should still be some recognizable aspects.
We know why that was the case in the originals. Because the developers didn't know they were going to add Atlanteans in the expansion, when they made the base game, and had to make the Atlanteans distinct when the expansion came out, in order to sell copies.
That's not true for the new version anymore, and they're also not working on inherited code like EE is, and thus have to remake or at the very least repolish every mission by hand.
If they leave the story exactly the same as it was 20 years ago, new players will have no clue why there are atlanteans in skirmish and multiplayer, yet Atlantis in the campaign doesn't have them, until 33 missions into the campaign.

As long as they don't remove any features from the editor, there will be some nice custom campaigns sometime after release.
