Microids has reconfirmed that Flashback 2 is planned to launch in 2023.

Today’s update may cause some confusion as this was the most recent release window for the game. It was on track for 2022 when it was initially announced in May 2021, but as of June this year, it was already moved to 2023. Microids’ status report today makes it sound like the delay was just determined now, though we know that isn’t the case.
