Sure does. MTronic, stainless muffler, captive bar nuts. Looks like it might not be spring AV. Look under the back of the bar cover. However, I see no buffer on the front left. So, maybe it is.

In a way it's ugly IMO, but I'm excited for the release date!!! I'm goin to pick one up I hope lol.

looks like maybe a spring right behind the chainbrake, possibly spring AV?

Yep. Here's the 4X magnification:

Next question, what will happen to the 880??? Will that become a 461 in the way where there are a few changes or it will it become a 661 in the way that it's a whole new saw?
