The 77L will be retrofitted with the new premium economy product starting this December into the configuration 38J/24W/214Y, denoted the '77LK'. J seats will not be changed out in this phase of the retrofit.
I was waiting to see if EK's comms team was going to put out a PR before I responded, but it appears they invertedly uploaded the new 3-class 77L seat map, so its now public anyways:
