It’s basically a message saying that it’s Christmas Eve, and Rodin will have a present tomorrow. Fans are advised to check Platinum Games’ Facebook page.
Platinum also shared the following English message on Twitter:

I can’t say I know what this is about. It could certainly end up being nothing, so I’d suggest keeping expectations in check!

Update (12/24/14):
Here’s the translation of the above image:
