It has finally been officially announced with its own logo and there's a blurb from Amazon "Three young pandas set out on separate journeys to save their homes and families in the Bamboo Kingdom"--", it will be releasing in Fall 2021. Man I was hoping for a red panda protagonist, but hey maybe they will appear in this series.

WE GOT A NEW BLURB!!!
"One kingdom. Three worlds. This thrilling new series from bestselling author Erin Hunter follows three panda cubs, separated at birth, who must join together to complete a prophecy and save their home.
The pandas of the Bamboo Kingdom have never forgotten the great flood that ended the peaceful life they’d always known. But for three young creatures born that day, the flood marks not an end, but a beginning—the beginning of their struggles to find a place in very different worlds.
Leaf, raised in the sparse Northern Forest, works tirelessly to help her family find bamboo to eat; Rain, hot-tempered, refuses to accept a suspicious new leader in her Southern Forest community; and Ghost, clumsy and uncoordinated, worries he’ll never fit in with his hunter family in the mountains.
None of them know that the others are out there, but thanks to a mysterious tiger that’s been threatening the Kingdom, they will soon find each other—and fulfill a prophecy that had been made long before they were born.
Erin Hunter fans will flock to this new series packed with the same high-stakes adventures and heartfelt friendships they’ve come to know and love."

I found another blurb and it sounds pretty legit and has me hooked “ A broken land. A crooked leader. A mysterious new danger. Only three panda cubs can save the Bamboo Kingdom. In a brand new series, Erin Hunter conjures the world of the giant pandas with her trademark mix of compelling storytelling, rich mythology and epic adventure. For centuries, the Bamboo Kingdom has been watched over by a spiritual force the animals call the Great Dragon. Only one animal in the kingdom can speak directly with the Great Dragon—a panda born with this special power. They are the Dragon Speaker, and they share the Great Dragon’s wisdom throughout the land. Pandas, monkeys, red pandas and leopards all depend on the Dragon Speaker. But a terrible flood brings catastrophe. The Bamboo Kingdom is divided in two, and the pandas are stranded on either side of the swollen river. Into this chaos are born panda triplets—Leaf, Rain and Ghost. Their fate is tied with that of the Bamboo Kingdom. With the guidance of a mysterious tiger, they must uncover the sinister threat at the heart of the forest—and defeat it.”

Also, baby pandas! I don't understand why they don't just use names actually native to the land, though (in this case, Chinese for the pandas). It's one thing I didn't like about Bravelands, too.

I agree, I wish they did something pretty something unique with their names, Leaf and Rain does sound pretty overused but Ghost's name is cute. If they had their name in Chinese, that would've been pretty cool. Leaf is translated to Yèzi, Rain to Yǔ, and Ghost to Gui, just as an example, but this would've been nice to give this series its own personality.

They did something similar with Seekers by giving the bears Native names (ex: Toklo meaning two in Chickasaw), so I don't see why they couldn't do something similar with Bravelands and this one. If pronunciation is an issue, then there's no reason why a guide can't be included, either.

This sounds super interesting! I've had a quick google and the Harpercollins website has its release listed as September 28th 2021 with 256 pages but doesn't have a blurb or the cover image. Source. I'm hoping this turns out good, I'm liking the mystical aspect of it and have a soft spot for fantasy novels set in China (or a mythical version of).

The first blurb states the tiger as an enemy while the second states if as an ally.
My guess the tiger is either misunderstood that everyone sees as evil and crazy or it would turn out like Stinger: acts like a good guy but is really evil.
I am surprise of the addition of dragon on the book. Erin never introduce the concept of mythical animals on their books.
Say were they got the second blurb.
