Godzilla's parent company Toho, Tsuburaya Productions, the creators of Ultraman, and Toei, the owners of Kamen Rider, have united to cryptically announce the Shin Japan Heroes Universe. Little is known about what this project will be beyond the official website's announcement, "We are planning a wide range of future measures such as events and commercialization."

The Shin Japan Heroes Universe is a project based around the four tokusatsu projects by legendary, Japanese Academy Award winning director Hideaki Anno. The director inadvertently began this journey writing and directing the 2017 Japanese Academy Award Best Picture winner, Shin Godzilla. He also directed Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 (Shin Evangelion in Japan), the fourth and final film in the Rebuild of Evangelion series. The movie was Japan's highest grossing of 2021.

Anno also wrote the screenplay for Shin Ultraman, due to open in Japan May 13th, 2021. The film is directed by Shin Godzilla co-director Shinji Higuchi. Meanwhile, Anno will direct Shin Kamen Rider, expected to drop March of 2023.

Details on the Shin Japan Heroes Universe Project are scarce at the moment. There is no confirmation this a "cinematic universe." The official website encourages fans to, "pay attention to the Shin era in 2022!"

Heres the translated text of the website if you are interested,

The miraculous project "Shin Japan Heroes Universe", a collaboration of four films "Shin Godzilla", "Shin Evangelion the Movie", "Shin Ultraman" and "Shin Kamen Rider", is about to start.

This project was launched by Toho, Color, Tsuburaya Productions, and Toei. The project was launched by Toho, Color, Tsuburaya Production, and Toei.

Starting with "Shin Godzilla" (screenplay and general director) in 2016, "Shin Evangelion the Movie" (planning, original story, screenplay, and general director) will be released in 2021, and "Shin Ultraman" (planning and screenplay) will be released on May 13, 2022, and "Shin Kamen Rider" (screenplay and director) will be released in March 2023. The main visual for this project is by Maeda.

Heres more badly translated text

A project to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the birth of Kamen Rider.
The film is written and directed by Hideaki Anno, whose "Shin Evangelion: The Movie" was a huge hit, and features Sousuke Ikematsu as the main character Takeshi Hongo/Masked Rider, Minami Hamanabe as the heroine Ruriko Midorikawa, and Tasuku Emoto as Hayato Ichimonji/Masked Rider No. 2. This is a new original work based on "Masked Rider" broadcast in 1971.

Some more text, theres a lot more to the website than i thought,

We are pleased to announce the launch of "Shin Japan Heroes Universe", a miraculous project in collaboration with "Shin Godzilla", "Shin Evangelion the Movie", "Shin Ultraman" and "Shin Kamen Rider". This project was launched by Toho, Color, Tsuburaya Productions, and Toei. The dream collaboration between four of Japan's leading "heroes" has been realized, transcending the boundaries of the companies because of the connection with the work bearing the name "Shin" in which the rare creator Hideaki Anno participates.

As a start-up, the main visual and emblem for this project were completed. The visuals were created by Masahiro Maeda and the emblem by Yutaka DeBuchi, two people who are deeply involved in each series, and they will add color to the start of this large-scale project.
We are planning a wide range of future projects, including events and merchandising. We will keep you posted on this website.
Please keep an eye on Shin Jidai in 2022.

They use universe a lot, but i wonder whether it is a cinematic universe or a marketing campaign

Also Tsuburaya posted this, "「シン・ジャパン・ヒーローズ・ユニバース」始動⚡『シン・ゴジラ』『シン・エヴァンゲリオン劇場版』『シン・ウルトラマン』『シン・仮面ライダー』4作品がコラボ✨2022年、シン・時代にご注目くださ"

so its just very vague, all about a collaboration, I've see some other sites like eiga say crossover, but i dont know much further than that

HinikunaGoji,
By visual, it means the two images. Maeda and Izubuchi (not DeBuchi) are both artists that created the image and emblem, respectively.

I am somewhat disappointed about there not being a Shin Godzilla 2, but this sounds like it will be worth the wait.
