- RememberJoySeasoned NoviceMaybe because everyone is working from home the packs got pushed back a bit. We could still get an EP, but it may be in July or August.

Yeah, I agree. Working from home undoubtedly slows things down. I might cross my fingers for an EP around the end of June, but I wouldn't be totally surprised if it could be July or August like you said. "RememberJoy;c-17867286" wrote:

This is what I'm thinking. And since it's different teams who work on EPs vs GPs, it's totally possible that there is still an EP in the works.- simmytimeNew SpectatorI think this year will be only 1 EP again - around November/December time. If TS4 is to "go on for many years" as the gurus say, 2 EPs per year every year will mean a huge number of EPs and the game becoming unstable and oversaturated.
We are already on expansion no 10, one more and it equals to that of TS3. Otherwise by November 2024 we would have 18 EPs :open_mouth:
Just my theory. - Briana2526New ScoutWell maybe in summer because EA does that Gamescon thing they'll probably announce it then.
- Or possibly they're breaking the schedule they've stuck too for a few years and are doing just one EP in November.
- elelunicyNew SpectatorGoing back to 1 EP per year is very unlikely. I’m pretty sure they have a larger team working on TS4 than ever. For example, there are a total of 43 engineers working on the game according to Bust the Dust’s credits. Meanwhile only 35 engineers were on Seasons’s credits, and they did release two EPs that year with a smaller team.
The game is also at its peak revenue wise, making about $450 million in fiscal year 2021. EA would not allow only one EP and thus a huge dip in revenue year-over-year.
I don’t think a July or even August EP release is likely though. They’ve never released an EP in July ever since TS1 for example. First month of a quarter is always a bad time to release an EP (with the exception of October due to holiday seasons). - logionXSeasoned HotshotI guess they could maybe release an EP in late June but they said that they are going to release a GP and a Kit so I wonder if they made the kit because they will not have an EP in June.

We've never gotten a pack in July.
Circumstances have been different this year, so I wouldn't consider it unheard of for anything to break the norm. :) - PhonecallzNew Spectator

I agree. I think people look too closely at previous release patterns and assume based on that. With the addition of kits and probably catching up from any delays 2020 caused, I would completely expect a shift in when we’re seeing new content.
