This looks pretty mega, almost the same size as Sony A7RII, but with a big 50mp sensor and a range of new hasselblad lenses.

It depends.
The last really big jump we had was the D810, which offered more pixels and more dynamic range whilst keeping high iso performance.
The Canon 5DR was very disapointing, it was basically a crop sensor scaled up to 35mm size and didn't offer any more DR or iso performance, and it also ran into the limits of most canon lenses in the corners, so you are not really getting the full 50mpix promised performance.
The next big hope the Sony 42mpix backlit sensor was also not a big jump, it was better at very high iso's where it looked like crap already, but didn't offer much more.
So this showed that we are basically very near the limits of current sensor tech, and improvements are likely to be a few percentage points improved over the next few years.
So this *could* be the next big jump, taking current tech and instead increasing pixel size - it may offer 50mpix sharp corner to corner, with greater dynamic range, and better colour. As the lenses are leaf shutter it should also sync to studio flashes better than DLSR's High speed sync.
So this could be the ultimate studio tool/landscape camera. And as its mirrorless its just as portable/handholdable as the current DSLRs.
