Given that TweetDeck seems fated to be abandonware, I highly doubt it. Their Android client became all but unusable soon after the acquisition, and I've heard iOS was dropped completely.

TweetDeck was mostly a defensive acquisition to begin with (they had a huge market share, and deck.ly was a perceived threat).

They abandoned mobile but not desktop, the last Mac update was about a month ago and looking at their jobs page they're actively hiring new people to work on it.

It would be inline with wanting to have one official client per platform.
