Does anyone know how extensive this revision is? I'm inclined to pass on it as I have the original. It seems a shame to have a revision to a volume in a series that's not yet complete.

Not much info on Eerdmans website. Pub date is listed as 5/14/2020.
Based on the latest text of the NIV, this updated commentary reflects the most current scholarship.
This updated and revised Pillar commentary seeks to clearly explain the meaning of John's letters to teachers, pastors, and general readers looking for a reliable and trusted resource for personal study. Colin Kruse introduces the important issues involved in interpreting the Johannine letters, gives verse-by-verse comments, and provides extensive discussion of John's major theological themes, including the real humanity of Christ, atonement, the role of the Spirit, Christian assurance, the meaning of koinonia, Christian love, and eternal life.
I wish they would finish the series first before revising volumes in it.

If (and that's a big if) the information about the new volume is correct, there's about 70 pages more in the new edition. That about 1/5th physical content. That plus nearly two decades should bolster the likelihood there's something greater in view.
Most of us picked up Pillar as a set for a very modest sum in a base package. Not a princely sum to get a new volume.
