There's no need to push for a specific date.
Just think about how many bugs there were in the last updates, and there was no time pressure due to approaching deadlines.
So let's keep it cryptic and hope for proper testing and bug fixing before a release, instead of having to do that in production.
By saying that the new age
is currently targeted to wrap up 2025
they are indirectly setting December 31 as the deadline. Internally, they may have planned to release it on November 17. If there are still bugs, then it will be early December.
But that delay won't work if a date is announced too early and players insist on that date.
