Season 1 Release Date

Based on previously mentioned dates, and how the delays have stacked up, it looks like Season 1 is going to be a mid to late July release at the earliest. This would also be in line with some data mining findings that said relatively the same timeframe. 

If the 4.0 update gets released next week, 12 weeks would be mid-July. I bet they do a dot build (4.1) in at the halfway point, 6 weeks-ish, then release S1 approximately 6 weeks after that. 

Does that sound about right given the information we have?

    @Adamonic It's not a bad estimate. My guess is an announcement for late July and then around early July an announcement for a delay until August with a Week 1 or Week 2 August release.

    The best I can say is a gigantic /shrug at this point. With the changes they are planning to implement, I would have hoped they could deliver it by June-ish, but who even knows. I know myself and a few friends that still play are largely banking on this 4.0 patch and S1 to not just be a gigantic mess. If they are, we're all planning to move on to something else.

    @-DFA-Thump yeah I could see it sliding to the 2 or 3rd week of August too.

    I was also thinking, they may want to get the time started on these seasons as soon as possible, which will allow them to cut their losses earlier. I can't imagine they do much with this game 3 months after S4 is released, if that.

    @Adamonic sad, but true. Unless the game gets miraculously revitalized (sigh) I can imagine the minimum amount of work for the 4 "seasons" being done and then 'sunsetting' the game.

    If it actually goes to August (so late Summer), that would be such an immense disappointment.

    @Anobix yeah, I was just going off previous dates of releases and the interval of those seems to be around 6 weeks for an update. So if they release 4.1 (probably just bug fixes) 6 weeks from next week (last week of May/first week of June), the next 6 week point is mid-July. If they don't release it then, the next 6 week point is late August (insert shocked face).

    yea, if they release in august they aren't hitting the "year 1" mark

    @Anobix I know, and to think, with how bad Halo and COD are right now, they had a window to win over a big chunk of the fps players and they flopped.
