Will it return? Almost certainly. Was a fine game, and not one particularly difficult or expensive to produce a range of brand new models for, thanks to long established “same basic hull but different shooty and worky bits” background.
Is this a tease? Seems a bit of a stretch.

If GW were returning to BFG there would have been a proper post like the Square Bases one for ToW. This is the generic "Art/Picture + Blurb then Show us your Stuff".

If you look at the stuff Droopflet Commander does with that basic concept and modular fuselages and hulls, you start to dream of a BFG remake with current technology. It's a 25 year old game with 20 year old models, they were great for their time, but i bet you could deliver absolutely stunning stuff today.
n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.
It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.
On the one hand, I would instantly jump into plastic BFG like Scrooge McDuck in a money bin. On the other hand, the prices are likely to be exce$$I’ve enough to keep me from ever buying any. On the gripping hand, DFC is a great game with fantastic minis and enjoyable fluff that scratches my spacebattle itch, while 3D printing has provided me with all the BFG ships I felt I needed for completeness.
I’ll follow this development with equal parts anticipation and dread.
It does seem somewhat odd that they'd randomly mention a game that hasn't been a thing for years when nothing they have at the moment is overly relevant to it. Have they done that before?

Aeronautica, although...smug mode enabled...I had forseen that such a game would appear in 2019! And I didn't even know that such a game had even existed previously!

Gods I'd love GW to do BFG again. Esp if they actually went further than Imperials and Chaos and a smattering of others - I'd love to see the current studio do Tyranids (the original models were..... not GW's best); or even see fresh takes on Eldar and see them do Dark Eldar

Just use the BFGAII designs. They already use them everywhere else.
As long as I can still use all of my old models, I'll be very happy. I'd still buy gobs of new stuff, but I'd love to still use all my old stuff, too.

I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method... is love. I love you Sheriff Truman." - Twin Peaks
If they do re-release, they'll likely just make it full of hard to acquire splash card decks and other nonsense that made it hard to keep up with HH Titanicus and kept me from jumping into Aeronautica. It'll go back to STLs and fan stuff in no time.
