I feel like it's well-established that psionics is a subclass, not a class. So maybe we will see psionics in the PHB but as a subclass, or a handful of subclasses. Psion and soulknife maybe, as subclasses of wizard and rogue.

"In the depths of the precipice stands a locked metal door at the end of a long metal hall guarded by fierce metal men. Find this door and open it." The words echo in your mind, ever since you entered this forsaken place, compelling you to delve deeper, though horrors beyond imagination await...

I hope Goodman Games doesn't get into trouble with DC Comics over that Night of the Bog Beast cover.
