I asked the same question 3 years ago. The Nikon Buying Guide on this website says "wait". I should have just bought it when I had the chance.

See this post from 2015. If there is a rumor about a new one, it would have been posted on this wegsite.

Rule of thumb for buying lenses, if you need it now buy it. If you don't, maybe wait a while.

There should be a new model coming, but you never know these days because of the rumored new mirrorless mount.

The current 300/2.8 is of course excellent btw.
