F1 23's development updates, including their Deep Dive Episode 2, is on pause after the devastating flood that took place in the Emilia Romagna region. The company released a tweet just two days before the video's premiere.
Everyone at EA SPORTS echoes the sentiments of the Formula 1 community in sending our thoughts to those affected by the devastating floods in the Emilia Romagna region.
We will be temporarily pausing all #F123 communications throughout the race weekend.

This comes in response after severe weather & flooding took at least nine lives in the Emilia-Romagna regoin in Northern Italy, according to Reuters. While it's sad news for F1 23 fans, it's the appropriate response from the company.
The official F1 Emilia-Romagna GP in Imola has also been cancelled as well. You can read the official tweet below:

Is F1 23's Deep Dive Episode 2 Cancelled?
This doesn't necessarily mean that Deep Dive Episode 2 won't release, but it may delayed until the company has decided communications can resume. For fans hoping to hear more about Breaking Point and F1 World, they'll just have to wait until then.
Breaking Point will continue the story from F1 21, following two racers and their quest to become the best racer in the league. F1 World is an entirely new mode that that creates a hub inspired by the Formula 1 Calendar where new content will be released. It will have a progression system with challenges that players can complete for rewards and upgrades. Not much is known after that.
