Well it is unlikely that theyrevamp the dominion lock box or the dominion as a faction. They will maybe give us the Cardassians as a playable race and then use a special Box to get some money is... like Sheshar, JHAS...

I can guarantee you we won't be getting a playable Dominion faction. The lockbox was the death knell for that.
