Cambridge University Press recently published a blog post with updates on new Bibles they are working on for publication this year. There are a couple of upcoming editions which include the deuterocanonical books which might be of interest for us Catholics:

NRSVue Diadem Reference Edition

Originally scheduled for publication in 2025, Cambridge delayed publication in order to develop a new concordance for the NRSVue which will be included in the back of this edition. Publication is now expected in summer of 2026. A Cambridge representative has confirmed on the Fans of the NRSV Bible Facebook group that this edition will feature the original (“international”) text of the NRSVue, rather than the Anglicized text (which was used in the Cambridge Popular Text NRSVue, reviewed on this blog here and here). The new 2026 product catalog from Cambridge Bibles lists 4 binding options which will include the Apocrypha/deuterocanonical books: red calfskin, brown calfskin, black calf split leather, and hardcover)

ESV Topaz Reference Edition with Apocrypha

Cambridge has been publishing the ESV Topaz edition with the Protestant canon, but they will be releasing an edition with the new 2025 ESV updated text and the Apocrypha/deuterocanonical books. Currently, they are estimating a publication date of late 2026, but it does not appear in the 2026 product catalog. This edition features 10 point font, two columns in verse-by-verse format, and cross references in the outer margin. Here is a video by Tim Wildsmith, where he shows the basic format of the ESV Topaz with the Protestant canon.
