Well, a few days ago there was a thread discussing the Gamescom event Blizz announced. We now know that is will be the cinematic and the release date announcement, but one poster said that if it is the cinematic then be prepared for a pre-Blizzcon release, and then /u/Naturalhighz posted a link to the BradyGames signature strategy guide which has a release date of September 23rd. Now, it's easy to just dismiss that (I did at first), but then Naturalhighz also points out, "well this company has been right on every single release except tbc where they were off by 1 day." That's a pretty good track record.

Then there is this video by BellularGaming discussing potential release dates, and he figures on a September 23rd release, and discusses why this is possible, as well as preferable over a November or December release.

Then there are a few other logical arguments I've seen:

  • The last time we got new content was in Spetember 2013. As we just saw from their earnings report, WoW is losing more and more subscribers. They need to give people reasons to come back and/or stay subscirbed.

  • Blood elves were announced to not be ready for launch. Now, this is pure speculation because we have no idea how long it really takes for these player model updates, but if they had 3-4 months left doesn't it seem like they should be able to finish them? This points to an earlier release.

  • They just announced the 10 year anniversary event. They specifically avoid mentioning if max level will be 90 or 100 in November, but it makes more sense that it will be 100. If the new MC is tuned to level 90 then players may only play it for maybe a week before the expansion would definitely be out and it would be ruined by people leveling. It seems much more likely that this new MC will be tuned for level 100. This would also mean that players will need time to get to level 100, so an early November release becomes unlikely, which means the release is before Blizzcon. And if the release is before Blizzcon then it needs to be a good few weeks before or the Blizzcon schedule would mess up the flow of the expansion. September 23rd would be about 6 weeks before Blizzcon, giving a good amount of time.

    Now, none of these arguments are bulletproof. Even all of them combined does not allow us to be certain. The release date could still be later. Though I'm almost positive it won't be in November because it creates too many issues with the new Molten Core, which would mean December, and that would mean 14 months with no new content.

    Regardless, we'll find out in a week.

    edit: Oh, and I forgot to mention that blue posts have been constantly saying that class balance tuning is one of the last things they do in an expansion, and the most recent beta build just happened to have a ton of class balance changes.

My money is on Sept 23rd. Amazon Guide Link The company that sells the guide is given a heads up on teh release date, and the last time they had an accurate date before the announcement. Basically, the timeline fits, beta has already started testing raids, level cap is 100, and they announced a short 6.0 PTR.
