Barnabes said: WotC are not keen on 3-color PW in standard. It would need to either be a unique fit to the character (like with Nocol Bolas) or them forcing a tertiary color to balance the color distribution (like with Tamiyo, Fiekd Researcher). Not impossible, just unlikely. It’s also possible they will throw some 3-C Planeswalkers as Commanders for the upcoming precons.
Also, here you can find some pictures of Ob Nixilis in New Capenna (2nd and 3rd last pictures). I would have uploaded them here, but the site shows the downloaded pictures as empty icons.
Tbh, I hasn't recognized him. For some reason I thought his was much more slender, had a much deeper red skin color and a much shorter tail.
Asylamb said: Some extra info about Ob Nixilis. Here is an fragment from an article about Ikoria, about how Narset came to be the second "wedge" PW (the text in [] are my additions).Narset was the last planeswalker to officially make it into the [IKO] set. <...> Because the set had a small wedge theme and there are so few planeswalkers with wedge colors ("few" being one - Sarkhan Unbroken is green, blue, and red [Temur]), we decided we wanted a wedge planeswalker. <...> The trick was finding a character who existed in two colors already but also made sense in a third color.For example, take red-white-black [Mardu]. <...> Who are the black-red planeswalkers? Angrath, Daretti, and Sarkhan have all had black-red planeswalker cards. There are also arguments that Ob Nixilis and Tibalt are fundamentally black-red characters. Do any of them make sense adding in white? Maybe Angrath, and that's a big maybe.Also, here you can find some pictures of Ob Nixilis in New Capenna (2nd and 3rd last pictures).

You are better off looking at when the last update for this game was rather than the release cycle of paper. Updates to this game are about every 6 weeks, and the last one was about 2 weeks ago. I would expect to see info for the next release in 2-4 weeks, and that will likely have the new set. Of course, something could delay it to the following update.
