It sounds like they still have some hope of bringing it back, so, fingers crossed.

It looks like more Venus probes will start launching over the next few years. There's the Rocket Lab / MIT mission first, then more from the US, China, India, and Russia to close out the decade. Plus ESA's next probe in 2032.
