A couple of specifics in Monogatari-verse have been nailed down recently, with release dates attached to the next of Nisio Isin's modern folklore mystery novels and the next of the prequel's anime movie adaptations. 

Back in January, Wazamonogatari, the latest entry in the popular Monogatari light novel series written by Nisio Isin and illustrated by Vofan, revealed that another pair of Monogatari light novels were scheduled to be released by Kodansha in 2016: Nademonogatari ("Caressing Story"), then Musubimonogatari ("Binding Story").

In May, it was listed for July, then, in honor of Nadeko Sengoku's Friday birthday, it was officially pinned to July 29th.
