A source just sent me this:

According to the internal store inventory system, the ZV-E1 has a status of “deleted” even though its “eol” date is listed in 2028. In my local distribution network, three units of the kit lens package are available while both body-only versions are unavailable and will not be shipped. It is strongly suspected that an updated ZV-E1 will drop sooner than later.
I’m including a picture I took of the inventory screen, which shows the information that is concrete.

I thank the source for sharing this information. I have to admit I haven’t heard any rumors about a possible Sony ZV-E1 successor coming anytime soon. We know Sony has registered a camera in Asia, but I don’t think it’s the ZV-E1 II.
