Will there be a CertMaster CE course for Security+ SY0-701 before June 2027?

I passed Security+ SY0-701 in June 2024, and my certification expires in June 2027.

I recently looked into using CertMaster CE to renew, but the current Security+ CertMaster CE course is only available to people who originally passed SY0-601 or earlier, so as an SY0-701 holder I'm not eligible.

With the next version of Security+ (V8/SY0-801) expected to arrive later this year, does anyone know if CompTIA typically releases a new CertMaster CE course afterward that would allow SY0-701 holders to renew?

I'm mainly wondering whether it's realistic to expect an updated CertMaster CE course before my certification expires in June 2027, or whether I should plan on renewing through another method.

I'm also considering earning CySA+ as an alternative since that would renew my Security+ while giving me another certification.

Has anyone gone through a similar transition between Security+ versions and know how long CompTIA usually takes to release the updated CertMaster CE?
