This week’s issue of Weekly Famitsu magazine #1570 features New Year’s cards and aspirations for 50 Japanese developers for 2019, including Atlus.

These cards include statements from the developers for the coming year. Atlus has their own paragraph, however the notable passage highlighted by sources is the following:

Starting with Catherine: Full Body, we are steadily preparing unannounced new titles. Please look forward to a follow-up report of Shin Megami Tensei V, as well.

This statement teases the possibility of reveals for several unannounced games in 2019.

The card itself features Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth, Catherine: Full Body, and Shin Megami Tensei V.
