Plus, V5 likely got released early and thus no one has anything ready. Same thing happened in V4, the studios only had a few months warning about it. The only ones ready were CFM because they had Luka V3 neither complete, so they scrapped their ideas and replaced them with Luka V4x. They were, however, in a comfortable position.

Though... Considering how messy it was compared to Miku and Kagamines, some of it likely was rushed.

We will likely get more voicebanks next year and its now so close to Christmas that if no Vocaloid if released soon they will have missed the Christmas rush. That means they loose a big advantage. There is no advantage left in releasing too close to, or after, Christmas Day. Christmas is now celebrated semi-common in Japan. Still, regardless of the situation you do see certain release patterns and right now we're getting too far along the X-mas release pattern to hope of any new Vocaloid.

That means we may not see any new Vocaloids now until Q1 2019.
