FWIW the Year 2 stuff is now live... and it's being a tiny bit screwy. Allow me to explain.
The main new thing for the moment (besides the VR if you're on PC) is the Elusive Target Arcade, which will lock you out of playing it for 12 hours if you fail a mission. Well, when I first booted up the game, one of the three available missions was already greyed out as failed even though I clearly hadn't even tried it. I subsequently discovered that leaving the mission select screen and going back in would sometimes fix the problem. The game just seems to randomly decide that I've failed stuff sometimes that I've never attempted, then changes its mind upon checking again. At one point I also went into mission planning and when I tried to actually start the mission, I got an error that said it was now unavailable.
Anyway, if any of this happens to you, and you haven't actually failed the mission, then just back out to the main menu and try again.
Also, these multi-step elusive target missions can still be restarted individually in the same manner that normal single elusive targets can be restarted (as long as you have not started completing objectives), and it will not affect the others in the chain. E.g., you can keep restarting the second of three targets in a chain and you won't have to do the first again or anything like that. Not sure if they'll require you to restart the whole chain if you fail out of a later target (since I haven't failed yet), but my guess is no.
