Oh weird! Yes it seems like it will be coming in 2021. I bet that the latency of new Chromecast was too high and they'll need to spend 6 months optimizing before they can get it down where it needs to be, which means the 2 teams must have been almost blissfully unaware of each other.

This sounds like typical Google where the development of this product and Stadia were so separated that they completely missed the huge opportunity. What a frustrating miss. Stadia has been advertising like crazy and you'd need to buy the EOL Chromecast Ultra to play on a TV and they'll miss one of their strongest cross-promotions going into the holiday season. They could have been undercutting PS5 and Series X with a $50 device that played the same AAA games with the Bluetooth controller you already own. This company is a zombie.
