Think probably no IBIS but it might come paired with the new 27mm WR lens as the kit lens. Given that it doesn't make much sense to pair a WR lens with a non WR body it would seem a possibility that the X-E4 would also be WR. We have seen it's possible with the X100V. That would distinguish it from the X-S10.

Fuji does not exist in a vacuum, they have competition, the A6400 has WR, flash and arguably more fully featured AF. By Mar 2021, it will be over 2 years old thus its street price will be lower than x-e4 introductory price, so what gives? Releasing a less capable product two years down the line is not a commercially viable proposition, the market has moved on. Except Fuji find a way to beat Canon and Sony at AF between now and x-e4's release, ibis is the only ace they have up their sleeve.

If I had to choose between an X-E4 with WR but no IBIS or the X-S10 with IBIS but not WR then I'd certainly pick the X-E4. Since I like hiking which is pretty much a daytime activity the WR feature seems much more useful to have than IBIS.
