Autodesk released its annual public road map, giving us a hint of what they are working on post-2021 release. In this message they also celebrate 20 years since Revit 1.0 was released!

Revit was first released in 2000 and you can see some of that timeline in Shaan Hurley's Between the Lines post Revit History. It even includes a link to this 1.0 promotional video, which is a little painful to watch, to be honest:)
My first Revit book was published in 2003 for version 5.0 which was post-acquisition by Autodesk, but still required a cloud-based license key to run (they were ahead of their time on that idea). I started writing the book a year before on version 4.5. Here is a short related post on my first Revit book: Carol Bartz and Phil Bernstein Signed my First Revit Book.
Now, on to the road map...
You can read the list yourself via the link below, but here are a few highlights:
Some good things in this list, for sure. It will be interesting to see how Autodesk handles "content management" given the way 3rd party products have matured, like Avail, Hive, Unifi. Will this native tool be a contender, or is this something altogether different? For this, and the rest of the items in the list, time will tell.
If you have an interest and the time you can join the beta program and kick the tires on what is called the Revit Preview build. You can sign up here: https://feedback.autodesk.com/welcome/

You can read the list yourself via the link below, but here are a few highlights:
- Override material assets with view filters
- Tapered walls (not slanted walls)
- Enhanced 3D RPC (I've had a peak at this from ArchVision, and it is amazing!)
- Electrical Panel Schedule Improvements
- Next Gen Insight for systems analysis
- Rebar (it wouldn't be a new version of Revit without more rebar improvements;)
- Steel connection libraries (sounds interesting)
- Shared parameters in key schedules (yes!!!)
- Content management and delivery
- 2D PDF printing
- Reset shared coordinates
- Cloud-based parameter definitions
