Two release dates have been decided: you’ll get Drei Karten next, and minmax later – both still within 2026.

What shall I do next?
I asked this (or a similar question) more than 16 years ago. This time I’m mostly asking myself. With Atlas just released, what’s going to be the next album? Because I just might start another one.
Working on an Album (Atlas)
