My guess for the new Bankai is one of these:

- dual short + long blade like his Shikai, connected with an extendable chain that allows the short one to be used as a ranged weapon + defense, while the long one has offensive techniques like Getsuga Tenshô

- single blade with techniques like Getsuga Tenshô, maybe an extendable chain connected to the hilt allowing him to use it as a ranged weapon (imagine old Bankai with more techniques + longer, extendable chain)
