Brexit passport renewal - Will I need to pay again?

I am a British citizen, and my passport is due to expire in March 2019.
This is about the time I should look to renew it (at a current cost of £75.50) but I've read/heard that when we leave the EU, also destined for March 2019 this will result in passports needing to be replaced with non-EU ones.
Has any advice been published on when/at what cost this replacement will happen?
Some scenarios I've thought about;
- If I renew now, the new one will stay valid until its' expiration; new "British" passports would be issued only as existing "EU" passports expire
- I renew now, and in 5 months get issued a new "British" passport, without extra charge.
- I renew now, and in 5 months my "EU" passport dies, and I have to pay for the new "UK" passport.
- I don't renew now, and wait for the new "UK" passports to be announced and get one then.
I don't expect the Gov will have anywhere near the resources in place to handle the millions of new passports required, Are there contingencies in place?
I appreciate there probably isn't an answer to this at the time of asking (as far as I can tell, there are no answers to any of the Brexit problems yet) but perhaps something will be come clear in time....

The answer is almost certainly #1: it's extraordinarily unlikely that existing British passports would be completely invalidated by Brexit. A British passport states that you're a British citizen, which will continue to be the case even if Britain leaves the EU.
While I can't point to any official sources, I can note that a) passports of European countries issued before they joined the EU continue remained valid even without the EU designation, and b) passports of countries that ceased to exist, such as the Soviet Union, still remained valid afterwards. (It took Russia six years after the dissolution of the USSR to even start issuing Russian passports!)

This is the only thing that makes sense. When the UK leaves the EU, its citizens will no longer be part of the EU either, no matter what's stamped on the front cover of existing passports.

@MikeHarris, it may turn out to be more complicated than that if the Amsterdam case is revived.
