So to give some more context, what Jayden is pointing out is that the of Curse of Strahd on D&D Beyond reflects the 6th printing from June, which includes errata and some corrections to some characterizations WotC admits in hindsight were insensitive to real world people.
Strahd revamped, doesn't indicate there will be anything "new" to the adventure, rather it's a lower price point sort of "deluxe boxed set" that seems to be lessons learned from licensing Beedle and Grimm to produce platinum, gold, and silver editions of various D&D hardcovers as boxed editions with additional bells and whilstles. Per their website the set contains:
Curse of Strahd, one of the most popular Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game products of all time, split into three parts: a 224-page perfect-bound adventure for characters of levels 1–10, a 20-page Creatures of Horrorbooklet of new monsters that appear in the adventure, and an 8-page Tarokka Deck booklet.
A cover sheet with Strahd von Zarovich’s image on one side and Strahd’s monster stat block on the other.
A sturdy, four-panel Dungeon Master’s screen designed for use with the adventure.
A double-sided poster map showing the domain of Barovia on one side and Castle Ravenloft on the other.
54 foil-stamped Tarokka cards, which help determine the heroes’ path through the adventure.
A tuck box to hold the Tarokka deck.
12 postcards (3 copies each of 4 different cards), which you can use to invite friends to your game.
If the adventure books in the box don't make any substantive changes from the what's available in D&D Beyond's present offering, I don't see DDB doing anything. I mean I guess they have a way to bundle the monsters as an a la carte sale if they haven't had that purchase option available. And I guess they could sell the Tarokka rules separately too. Only thing in the bells and whistles I could see being developed would be a virtual Tarokka deck, but that would be something akin to the digital dice project (online card game), but while that would be cool, I don't see it as something DDB has the capacity to do currently. Wouldn't hurt asking the Dev team at the next update or putting it in the right forum.

Will it be a new separate adventure book on D&D Beyond or will the current Curse of Strahd be updated?
