Do you think this will be part of the next Komplete?

I googled “Will absynth 6 be included in the next NI Komplete bundle?” and the AI replied:

Absynth 6 will be included in the next Komplete bundle, likely Komplete 16, but is not in the current Komplete 15 bundle. Native Instruments had previously discontinued Absynth 5, which was why it was absent from Komplete 14 and 15, but has recently released a new version of the synth.

Absynth Status Update

• Absynth 5 Discontinuation: Native Instruments officially stopped selling and developing Absynth 5 in September 2022, citing the significant resources required to keep the product in line with modern technological standards. It was removed from the Komplete 14 and Komplete 15 bundles.
• Absynth 6 Release: A new, updated version, Absynth 6, was released as a standalone product on December 9, 2025. This new version addresses the previous technical limitations and is available for individual purchase.
• Komplete Bundle Inclusion: Based on typical Native Instruments release cycles, new products are included in the subsequent major Komplete bundle release. Industry discussions indicate Absynth 6 is expected to be part of the upcoming Komplete 16 bundle, rather than added retroactively to Komplete 15.
