Four? Which one are these besides the new attack helicopter?

Four, IIRC. I should've highlighted the bolded part. It could be more, or it could be less.

Namely:
1. WZ-XX (almost certain);
2. Sino-Russian heavy-lift helicopter (absolutely certain);
3. Some kind of new helicopter reported by Global Times to be undergoing verification flight sometime in 2022 (absolutely certain); and
4. Tiltrotor helicopter like the V-280 (uncertain).

Though, I can't say if #1 and #3 are related in any way.

Got this one from Global Times (GT) in 2022, which is the basis for #3:

And this one, also from GT last year, which might or might not be an early hint for #1 i.e. WZ-XX:

I would also add, more as an aside, that given PLA helicopter naming convention, the new attack helicopter (or rather, whatever new attack helicopter design emerges), it is likely to have a Z-XX designation rather than "WZ-XX".

Given Z-10 and Z-19 are just "Z-XX".
