DxO Labs (the new owner of Nik Software) have just released (Oct 26, 2017) the replacement for DxO Optics Pro 11 with a name change. The new product is called PhotoLab and seems to be heading in the same direction as Lightroom and other parametric editors by introducing local adjustment tools to the product.
The first sign of integration with the Nik software is that control points (something a lot of Nik users employ) is integrated into this new functionality. The best commercial raw convertor on the market (in my opinion) has just gotten stronger.
