This will be published by the Museum of the Bible Books:
The Museum of the Bible opened it’s 40-foot bronze entry doors in Washington, D.C. in November 2017 and marked an unprecedented historical first in Bible history. The one-of-a-kind collection is housed in a 430,000-square-foot building just two blocks from the National Mall and three blocks from the nation’s Capitol. The largest single museum in Washington D.C., and the first in the world to focus on honoring the Bible, the Museum provides guests with an immersive and personalized experience as they explore the history, narrative, and global impact of the Bible. Worthy Publishing Group and Museum of the Bible have teamed up to form a new book-publishing imprint, Museum of the Bible Books.
Due to be published in October.
Hmmm. Last October, Worthy Publishing (the outlet for Museum of the Bible Books) published the same title (in hardcover and Leatherluxe) using the text of the ESV Bible. There is the same description for the upcoming NABRE, except it does not include "the Apocrypha", and there is an added set of details after the words, "...powerful living text." The listed added details for the ESV includes:

From a distance, it would seem that this is somewhat akin to St. Benedict's Press, Spiritual Warfare Bible. That edition showcased Paul Thigpen's book, Manual for Spiritual Warfare. This Bible seems to showcase the Museum of the Bible's raison d'etre that the Bible has affected the world (Global Impact, that is).
