The official statement is “on or before June 30th. 2026” but I think there was some leak that it was targeting a late February launch.
I’d be surprised if it launched so early next year, though with the “Worldsoul Saga” expansions being announced as a trio, maybe it wouldn’t be too shocking if each was a shorter experience, around a year and a half instead of the ~2yr expansion cycle we’re used to.
Honestly, if so much is changing functionally and mechanically with all these different specs, I kind of want to get into it and get used to it as fast as possible, rather than have all the tools in my current kit knowing they’re going to be ripped out lol and dwelling on that for a few more months lol.
