Returning on January 23rd, the show is now apparently called 'Millionaire Hot Seat Super Game', based on a December teaser trailer.

An extended 15-question 'Fastest Finger First' determines the pecking order. First place gets a cash prize and gets to go first once regular play starts.
All six contestants will face the same 15 questions, with the fastest and most accurate winning a cash prize at the half-way mark of the program.

Some lifelines are back - 50:50, Ask A Friend (+1), Switch The Question (still no Ask The Audience). The original Pass appears to have gone.
But there's a catch - the contestant must fork over the cash prize, and can only pick one lifeline.

So, besides an oversized 'Fastest Finger First' round, and the possible demise of the sole $1,000 safe haven, it doesn't sound like that much has changed to me.
