Their issue next week is going to feature their monthly series and some "surprises," so they're probably going to announce something. Maybe the English DVD release of The Last, a limited theatrical run for Boruto, or some other announcement. Maybe English translations of some other Naruto print media -- novels, databooks, the new artbooks, or something. We'll see. Oh really? I never knew they did special issues. What kind of content does it contain if they don't have the actual chapters? It depends. They usually have some sort of theme. Sometimes they run the new chapters for their monthly series like Blue Exorcist, Seraph of the End, and One-Punch Man. Sometimes they do a collection of things connected to a specific manga or mangaka, sometimes they do one-shots.

For example, during the Obon holiday in August 2013 they did an issue dedicated to Naruto that included a 72 page art gallery of volume covers and color spreads, the original Naruto pilot, and a short interview with Kishimoto.
