There's already stuff coming out about Kamen Rider's 50th anniversary. There's a special logo, a new project for an old series, a lot of rumours circulating that at least some of the Zi-O crew have been signed up for something else, etc. There's not been any sign of anything similar happening for Sentai.
I've also seen some speculation that this is essentially a "do over" season seeing as the pandemic lockdown kneecapped toy sales for Kiramager. I don't think that's likely either - these shows start being planned over a year in advance so this would have been in motion before COVID was a thing in Japan.
What's the new project and for which Rider series?
I can see how Kirameiger's toyline was crippled by COVID but we are definitely getting a powered-up form for them and at least one more mecha for the fall line which coincides which what the standard Sentai toyline has been like. If anything I'm sure fans are ok to have one year where Sentai isn't pumping out merch like crazy and we're back to a more relaxed release.
I can see Zenkaiger being a time-travel like Sentai similar to Zi-O, where they have to go on missions to the past because the villains' main objective is to warp past events for the future. Not to mention, the Gokaiger cast are all still open to acting, and I just don't see how Toei won't do another crossover like in Zyuohger, gives them a reason to release more Premium Bandai merch with Rangers Key.
