    Historically we don't get anniversary plans ahead of time, so no I don't expect anything until Thursday.

    I'm 99.9% sure we got a calendar showing everything planned for the anniversary like a week before it started last year. Besides that, it doesn't really matter what's happened historically since last year was the first year with the new team

    Yes, definitely for the last 2 years we have had information in advance:

    Those were posted literally the night before anniversary events began (EST). Less than 12 hours notice. It only looks ahead of time because the first post you linked posted the last night of September, and then we recieved anniversary rewards starting the first of October.

    And yes it does matter what historically has happened because the OP is phrased as "wouldn't you expect news by now" and I am saying "no we would not expect news by now".

    If the counterpoint is that they are new devs so it could change, then again, why would we "expect" anything already?

    We will probably have a post tomorrow night (EST) or, at earliest, end of day today. Recently, posts to this forum from the devs have been pretty late in the day EST.

    According to the date stamps in the search screen, last year's post went up on September 29, with anniversary starting on October 1. 8th anniversary post appeared on October 4 with anniversary starting on October 7. So based on historical information, which may or may not be relevant, we should expect an announcement imminently. Or not...

    Keep in mind too that the former devs used to post placeholder announcements and edit in the details afterwards.

    But yes that is moot given the new devs anyway. Info seems to go elsewhere first, so people should probably watch the social media accounts for news on the anniversary tbh.

    Hey there folks! We've got a ton in store for Thursday and the rest of the month. What I can say for now is there is a BIG reason for the embargo on Anniversary details. We'll post all the info here and on our socials as well at launchThursday morning.

    We're almost there folks, get hyped!

    Calling it now, Thursday morning will see Marvel Puzzle Quest replaced with Image Puzzle Quest. I can't wait to see how they adapt Spawn, Savage Dragon, and Danger Girl to the PQ formula!

    I actually deleted this (myself, which is rare) as thought it was much too silly.

    Wait...so you are saying my guess isn't likely?!?!?

    As someone who finds it incredibly easy to take things off topic I understand but don't post less. We all gotta try and counter all the maths around here and the only way to do that is with Rimmer quotes and stupid 1970s Marvel characters.

    Stay gold Pony-Clem.
