There is going to be.
The next campaign book, "Acheron Falls", has at least one Sectorial for each faction.
PanOceania: Varuna and Svalarheima
Yu Jing: Invincible Army and their Svalarheima equivalent faction.
Haqqislam: Caliphate and Khanate
Nomads: Tunguska
Combined Army: Evolved Intelligence sectorial
ALEPH: OSS
Ariadna: USAriadna and RussAriadna
Mercenary: White Star Consortium and Beyhan Resources Limited--potentially one more.

Well, the fluff about Ariadna in the current books cover the generic situation in the planet, and then Caledonia and Merovingia have more in-depth content. I guess the book introducing the sectorials will have more fluff focused on that factions.

Is it going to be a campaign book? I thought it would be just a (large-ish) expansion as Human Sphere.

Human Sphere is not being replaced.
It's really hard to explain. Basically, the units are going to be unchanged. It's just core rules mechanics that are going to change--and units that are not currently in Sectorials might get new additions.
Also Tohaa and ALEPH are not in the 3rd main rulebook.
The way I understand it from the Beasts Of War video with Carlos is anything Tohaa new and otherwise will be on the Infinity site. The reason being Tohaa was not in the 2nd Edition or Human sphere books. Campaign: Paradiso is where Tohaa were introduced, and the Paradiso book is fine and will not be rewritten.

Well the idea behind the books is they're telling an overall story. Each new book in the progression adds to the story. 3rd edition is a rewrite of the 2nd edition core rulebook. It doesn't change its place in the overall timeline. So putting Aleph and Tohaa in there doesn't work because Aleph didn't have armed forces until Human Spheres period (or at least humans didn't know about it), and Tohaa weren't known until the Paradiso campaign (though there was mention of them in Human Sphere as an indigenous race of Paradiso).
So since 3rd edition is only rewriting the core rulebook, Aleph and Tohaa just don't have a place in the book. However, Corvus Belli do want to release new stuff for them. Tohaa for example, are nearing the end of their possible releases and Acheron Falls is at least a year away I'd guess. They're not going to leave Tohaa players with no releases for that long.
edit - Angel looks completely different to how I'd pictured him. He looks... normal. I was expecting some jedi like master painter with brushes strapped to his utility belt and an old, wizened look to him as he dispenses painting tips.

Angel just posted today that he is repainting this Knight to "match the new blue of PanOceania"...so it looks like this one might be making its way into the Knights of Santiago box.
So, somebody from CB will be at the NOVA Open tournament here in Washington D.C. this year. Possibly Bostria or Interruptor. To quote the TO for the Infinity events at the NOVA, "They will be doing a seminar. Supposedly, it will be about 3rd edition and other new releases. In addition, they've confirmed that there will be a 'first in world' announcement made at Nova which they won't talk about at GenCon."
"-and all that time in Paris, when you were wallowing in debauchery with your doxies, tarts and pirates... you were trying to convince me you were a disgusting, swinish, lecherous, drunken sot... Well I want you to know it worked.
Also keep the 8th of November free for the Baltimore Brawl Infinity tournament at Games-n-Stuff. (It is news, right? So it would go here and not tournament discussions, since we're not actually discussing it?)
Anyway, the presence of the N3 quick starter rules there means to me that the booklets will also be at GenCon, perhaps along the the N3 rulebook? All signs indicate a release sooner rather than later, I think. C'mon August! get here sooner.
Psssh, I am some of those guys. Now go get a job ya hippie.
And definitely looking forward to the Baltimore Brawl (and hopefully seeing some of you hooligans there). Last Games and Stuff tourney I went to was the last one before they switched locations. Would certainly like to break out the Haqq and meet some people over some tournament games. (And lose horribly of course, an activity I specialize in).
I think the guy who won was playing... Neoterra? Yeah, cause they get the Garudas, which are no fun (when on the recieving end).

I was thinking that the patch is cool because it remembered me of some old school patches. The first thing I thought when I saw it was the Nostromo crew patch.
Holy balls, I'm not sure I'm willing to pay 60 bucks to paint a new Fusilier, even if it is with that Angel guy. I may just have to stick with trying to nab a ticket for one of the learn to play sessions. And the seminar, definitely that, if I can get in.
Yeah, it's got the top slot on my wishlist and I'll be manning that page with refresh watching the counter tick down, but there are only 40 slots and only a single instance of the event for all four days. If I get in, and nobody beats me to it (unlikely), I'll see if I can post up some info.
