Next Expansion Speculation?

I still have hope for an EP. Frost didn’t specifically say no more EPs this year, he only said the roadmap runs to December. In the past there has been occasions where a pack gets announced unexpectedly thats not on any teasers/roadmap etc. Also, lots of gamechangers have stayed silent on this topic - maybe because as this post is being written they are being asked to build for the new pack in secret!

I just find it hard to believe EA would pass up such a profitable time to sell a big pack! If we are going back to 1 EP a year then the summer one would make more financial sense to skip.

Just my opinion.

I am inclined to agree. There was no specific mention that there won't be a pack. That is, it could be, but it's like you said - if cottage living was the only EP for the year, it would've made more sense to release it over xmas - if only because they would've known it would be well received and it would have been a good surprise after the disappointment of not getting an EP the entire year.

However, it could be that the pandemic hit harder than they foresaw which is why the potential EP could've been delayed till next year.

But there was no confirmation explicitly stating one or the other.

I'm personally keeping fingers crossed for a release - maybe it's a GP? I'm grasping at straws here, but if they'd known the potential EP needed to be delayed, the theoretical GP which should've/could've/would've released in Sept could've been pushed to year-end to give the EP more time for refinement?

Who knows? (I mean, EA knows but they're not telling)
