According to a recent report of Keisei Railway's mid-term business plan ("D2 Plan"), to address the surging number of foreign visitors, a new limited express service will be introduced by FY 2028, from Narita Airport to the city, utilizing the Keisei Oshiage Line, with direct access to the Toei Asakusa Line.  Rolling stock image is merely conjectural:

Seems unclear if this is a skyliner replacement or if this will be a reintroduction of airport limited express services on the Main Line. Keep in mind the previous skyliner series were built 1990–1993 and retired 2010–2016.
