As of Monday, July 1, 2024, we have repackaged our singing voice synthesis software products, including Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Megurine Luka, MEIKO and KAITO✨

In 2024, Crypton will be celebrating its 20th anniversary of the singing voice synthesis software business, and we are preparing to release even more new products by the end of the year...!
Please stay tuned for further updates ♪
new products announcements next month, August 1stヾ(@⌒ー⌒@)ノ🎁🎀
Crypton Future Media, Inc. has repackaged its six current singing voice synthesis software products as of Monday, July 1, 2024. With the repackaging, the DAW software included with each product has been changed to Steinberg's "Cubase LE" .

In addition, the two titles being repackaged this time, "Hatsune Miku V4X" and "Kagamine Rin & Len V4X," will come standard with the English voice library, which was previously sold separately, while keeping the price the same.

As part of the repackaging, the corresponding English voice library will be provided free of charge for a limited time to users who purchase the standard versions of "Hatsune Miku V4X" or "Kagamine Rin & Len V4X" on SONICWIRE after July 1, 2023, or who have registered a license on the EC Crypton site.
In conjunction with the repackaging, we will be distributing a 4,000 yen discount coupon that can be used for shopping at SONICWIRE to users who purchase the Hatsune Miku V4X Bundle or Kagamine Rin & Len V4X Bundle on SONICWIRE or register a license on the EC Crypton site between Monday, April 1, 2024 and Monday, July 15, 2024.

In addition, we plan to offer special prices on the new products to users who own Crypton virtual singer software products that use VOCALOID3 (V3) or VOCALOID4 (V4).

The installation media for each packaged version has been changed from DVD-ROM to a download card, making it easier for those who do not have an optical drive to install.

We are sure that the singing voices of the newly dressed Hatsune Miku will continue to accompany your creative endeavors!

Crypton will celebrate its 20th anniversary of the singing voice synthesis software business in 2024, and is preparing to release more new products this year. We plan to announce new products on Thursday, August 1, 2024.

I don't know too much about the actual "music software" business side of Crypton (much more of the promotional side like events etc)...
Is there any chance this means they actually might announce a completely new Vocaloid?
An actual addition to the Piapro family after such a long time is hard to believe but would be kinda cool...

well, in terms of confirmed early test/development, there are both CV04 and Project if:

(not to be confused with Miku if ver.)
but I see them as internal concept tests and that eventually helped with the development of V3, V4X and NT.
and while it'd be interesting to see a new character from Crypton, and they are very capable of doing so, they don't need to. and in some ways, a new character might hurt the others. Vocaloid fans are so used to see the Crypton family of Miku, Rin, Len, Luka, Meiko and Kaito, together with Rabbit Yukine, all Snow Miku, Sakura Miku, Magical Mirai, Miku Expo and Miku with You, Project Diva, Project Sekai, PokeMiku versions. And then there is Gumi, Teto and all the other characters of the whole Vocaloid history.
reading all the Sonicwire article, it seems like on August 1st they'll announce NT 2 (tentative title) for Miku and friends, with Miku NT2 probably releasing in late summer/autumn, Rin/Len NT2 in winter, and Luka, Meiko and Kaito next year ^-^
