I hope so. I want some fat 3.0 slicks like crazy bob's or something and some 27.5+ studded ice tyres

Not sure about slicks. Don't know how much demand there would be given that you can get pretty chunky balloon tyres up to about 2.35. I've never wanted more tyre than the 2.15 Big Apples on my monster commuter.

Schwalbe website has Super Moto X at 27.5/2.8".

I think by next winter, the range of plus tyres available will be much bigger, and there should be some better mud options. Maxxis are doing a big range I think and i love their tyres generally. Also Specialized will have two available.
My issue, (i've got a Jamis Dragonslayer 27.5plus with 3.0 vittoria tyres) is whether to drop down to 2.8 to hope you sink into the mud a little more, or stay big and get something with more pronounced blocks to kind of paddle steamer through the gloop.Charge bikes are shipping with 2.8's as they say they are better all round, and being a UK company, perhaps that means 2.8 and mud will get along better.
Also, by next year, I may have saved enough to be able to afford two new tyres....
