It's something they do every year! Basically just a bunch of clip shows with a particular focus (last year was Trigger and Dyna) which often hints at what the next show will be about, or something in it. This one seems to be strung along with slightly more of a plot, even having its own DX item and card sets

The other purpose of these recap shows, other than being hints of the next Ultra show, is also to fill the airtime and keep the timeslot till the next show airs.

And it’s basically what kept the franchise on life support during the early ‘10s when Tsubaraya didn’t have the money to make a new show. I don’t know how many people remember this, but Ginga, Ginga S, and X all aired as chapters of the Ultraman Retsuden recap series that ran from 2011-16.

Very big Ultraman reference

Hah! That's funny. I probably should read it, but I'm currently reading JoJolion (an Ultraman figure is seen at one point) and writing my own Manga.

Also, in case anyone noticed in Yu-Gi-Oh! Sevens and Go Rush! the card making machine is straight-up King Joe. Just a funny detail.
