Yeah, that's the funny thing, that "Fall" in a business sense can include December. :) My speculation has always been mid-to-late November. I also agree with others that I would prefer it to launch in January, simply because I want them to achieve as strong of balance as possible.
Autumn lasts till 21 december so... xd
Winter holidays are called christmas, don't be afraid to use that word
This tells us nothing. We were already told the release was during Q4 this year.
In the Activision Q1 Financial update, it was announced that they are on track for a Q4 release. This was a couple months ago though
Still a huge window:Autumn 2020 in Northern Hemisphere will begin onTuesday, 22 Septemberand ends onMonday, 21 Decemberso that is anything form 2 months and 2 week away... or 5 months a 2 weeks....hard to judge anything right now.
Screw all you people that are looking for a release date so you can take a week off work. Ya'll just gonna have to gamble on it. Could be September could be December we won't tell.
Any other astronomers in here that maintain Fall is from August 1 to November 1st? That the equinoxes and solstices are the middle of the seasons, and not the ends? Damn weather and schools ruin everything...
Fall? Seriously? I am actually not sure if I like that. I just hope that there won't be any hasty things like with Azerith Armor.
What was the point of this post if they haven't confirmed a date yet? They put fall / late 2020 up when they put the pre-orders for Shadowlands for sale...
The entire livestream today was just an ad for the collector's edition.
They did say Q4 last time, so it's probably not coming out in September. I would bet on an early November release. Maybe November 3rd, one day after the day of the dead holiday, that would be a really good timing, right?That would give us around 3 months left for BfA before the pre-patch hits.That would also give us a raid opening at around the 24th, just about one month before the holiday seasons begin. Releasing it any time later could be bad timing with people stop playing the game for the holidays season just as the raid is opening.
Here are my two guessesDecember 8th. If pre-patch does occur, it will most likely last around a month, Meaning Pre-patch will occur around November 10th. This means once launch occurs, the raid would probably open the first week of the new year, maybe the second, as I think they generally give about a full month of prep time for first raid gearing, and due to so many holidays falling in December. This one also is more likely in my opinion, since I believe Mythic Plus opens the week before the raid, meaning first week of the new year and raid second week of the new year.Or November 10th, with pre-patch in October. Same idea, because by then the raid would drop right at the beginning week or two of December, which is plenty of time for world first race to occur and people not to feel like they missed out on family holiday stuff.those are my guesses. WoD launched on the 13th of November if I remember right, so that would be a likely scenario, though Castle Nathria is a 10 boss raid, which is quite a bit bigger than Highmaul.Either way, super hyped and hoping for beta access so I can make some super new content. ^^
