I think there are plans for new kits and the theme is spying. If you go to
the legomindstorms site and login you will see that there is a game about
spying (found under community/games/ then chose Robohunter 2).
Further, if you go to Amazon (see link below) you will note that there are
a bunch of new products listed (eg, LEGO Snaptrax, LEGO Gigmesh, etc.) with
the Mindstorms products. When you read the descriptions for these new
products many mention spying.
