Possibly in 2018 we'll have another Santana album, but I wouldn't hold out for it being a traditional band album. There hasn't been a straight-up collaboration album since 2005 (Guitar Heaven was all covers and all rock covers at that, Corazon was mostly Latin, and the Isley album doesn't really qualify either).
Hopefully since 2019 is the 50th anniversary of the first Santana album, we'll see a multi-disc retrospective along the lines of Dance of the Rainbow Serpent and maybe one disc will be unreleased studio material.
The only kink in that theory is that 2019 is also the 20th anniversary of Supernatural... so maybe we'll see a new single disc early in the year (instead of 2018) that is composed of collaborations in the Supernatural mode and then the multi-disc anniversary set around September, which would be the actual anniversary date of the first album's release.
