There is a big difference in when a game is announced and when a project is started. Look at SH Online it may have been announced in April this year but judging by the screenshots it was already substantially complete and has still not been released. Dan Dimitrescu lead developer of SHV indicated that planning for SHO was in fact started just after the SH5 release date way back in spring 2010.
