They could already have plans for them laid out, we are right before E3 and Atlus USA always announces some stuff there.

I don't think they would have released a physical Vita game later than Feb 2019 anyway. Do you really? They'd come before that or be digital only (which is still totally a thing so I don't understand why anyone is saying RIP Vita.)
They have to have their orders in by June though, even if production will still occur afterwards. If I'm reading that right, anyway
You have to assume that by June, they know what they're releasing for the rest of the fiscal year. Even if they're unannounced, Atlus knows. They're not getting caught with their pants down, they know what they're putting out this fiscal.
I wonder how this will effect indie publishers like LRG and East Asia Soft? Unfulfilled Vita runs need happen sooner rather than later is my first thought. We'll see how this goes though.
LRG order through Sony so they will have the same deadline. East Asia Soft will continue until Sony Asia stop taking orders.
Word on the street is that it's going to be the long awaited sequel to this handheld classic:
Cross posting an interesting comment from the thread about this news. Seems werezompire's next game won't be on Vita. Not surprising:
Sony ends production of physical Vita games (Vita means life)
We had a good run guys. Custom firmware and fan translations will extend my interest in the platform. Ugh, the rush to buy games last minute will soon be upon us.
I don't see how this affects Atlus' plans for Persona - if they were doing physical, they'd know that by now and I'm certain those games will be out before the end of the year.
I do feel like it throws a question mark over everything else though. Catherine is 'winter' in Japan - which probably means it isn't making it here in time. Uta only just released in Japan and it normally takes a good while for Aquaplus stuff to come across. Who knows what's happening with 13 Sentinels.
Incidentally, I literally just placed my Bloodstained Vita order yesterday. Hope that comes through, although the fact the deadline was the 14th seems promising - they were clearly trying to figure out how many copies to order before the end of June.
Ahh, sad times.

Man I hope the Muv luv game will still be available physically.
It's a real shame as I really wanted the Persona games on a card too :(

I believe Muv Luv will be fine. PQube could have already sent in the information for both regions.
In amongst all the doom and gloom, there are pockets of good news.
It doesn't seem like production is stopping in Japan/Asia at least:

Other stuff is very much still coming. Retro City Rampage, and LRG have 30 titles lined up and are trying to get more in before the deadline:

Some devs are still committed and are teasing Vita games to coming (Ratalaika Games and Tikipod Games):

I don't see why we can't have both.
I missed out on the other Retro City Rampage run.
I've gotta say, this is kinda lovely to see. I was expecting there to be a spree of "we'll have to re-evaluate our plans" tweets but it seems like nearly all pubs/devs are rushing to get things done in time for the fans.
I hope Atlus is among them too!
Bought a PSTV and it arrived yesterday. Love my vita but some games I was just dying to play on a big screen with a controller. Had to get one from America since they are discontinued here in Japan/expensive as a result. Digging it so far, might even get me back into trails in cold steel.
First and only, but that's not why it will be worth something. It will be worth something because unlike the other systems which we know will have extra copies sold through other retailers, Vita will likely have none outside of what they're making for backers. This will be a fall game at the earliest and winter at the latest, they're not going to have time to judge whether or not a reprint is worth it.
Well here's hoping that Catherine/Persona games get a physical run. Guess I'll start looking for some of the physical releases I want for the system before they become ultra rare.
Just in case though : What are some good import sites for vita? There's a few I do want physically but they're Asian English release only.

Everyone start praying to whatever god(s) or devil(s) you worship. We need this visual novel to be a localization reality. I've lost any and all hope for Dies Irae, the only other visual novel I want for my Vita at this point.

Done my part. This is my most wanted VN ever.
Last time I messed around in Freedom Wars I had all my factories crafting stuff just before closing the game. Checked yesterday and one of them got me a rank 8 late bloomer EZ Katze ready to be upgraded to heaven and beyond.
Add to that the late patch that allowed us to do any retribution freely (cutting one of the various RNG related to crafting) and my stay will be a bit longer this time.

Things like gyro aiming from Splatoon and the auto-aim from Fatal Bullet are deeply missed though
I'm guessing the chances of seeing a physical release of Liar Princess and the Blind Prince in the west are slim to none?
This sadly. Ani hinted pretty heavily that there's more NISA-related disappointment for Vita fans coming. I suspect it'll be this + Four Knight Princess skipping.
I expect them to at least treat PS4 owners as well as they seem to treat Switch owners at the moment.
Expect PS4 releases to go digital at some point, as it's already happening with their SNK partnership.
