Canon G7X / G5X - when is the next one coming out?

I'm a huge fan of Canon G7X. Even though I have mirrorless camera, I feel my G7X has given me the best photos ever overall simply because it's been so easy to take with me to various places. My G7X has been my workhorse for few years now and has been to various places around the world.

Now it's been 1.5 years since G7X Mark II came out and 2 years since G5X came out, has Canon given up on these cameras? I would LOVE to see a new generation G5X/G7X but all I hear is crickets. I know Canon's been producing G9X and other cameras but in my dreams I see Canon releasing game changer, just like Sony RX100 and Canon G7X were. Maybe larger aperture / longer lens / larger sensor while being pocketable.

Maybe it's the sign of the markets these days. As amazing as it would be to push the envelope in this camera category, it may simply not be profitable. I hope I'm wrong and that we see a next generation pocketable decent sensor camera soon.
