Here is my argument for Friday, May 8, 2026 release date for Patch 0.5.0, based on historical patterns. First, all major updates occur on Fridays. A May 8th release date is 147 days from Patch 0.4.0, which is the max span between updates. GGG will likely host a livesteam reveal on Thursday, April 30th.
Historical PoE2 EA Timeline
Patch 0.1.0: Released on December 6, 2024
Patch 0.2.0: Released on April 4, 2025
Patch 0.3.0: Released on August 29, 2025
Patch 0.4.0: Released on December 12, 2025
Number of Days Between Updates
Days between 0.1.0 and 0.2.0: 119 days
Days between 0.2.0 and 0.3.0: 147 days
Days between 0.3.0 and 0.4.0: 105 days
(maximum span = 147 days)

Sounds about right. With Poe 1 3.28 dropping end of March.

Best we'll get tomorrow is some announcement in a form of forum post or a video under 5 minutes.

Another indicator is a lack of GGG saying anything when all streamers/players are gearing up/expecting this date. They would not hold off announcing a delay if everyone expects this date. If they for some reason make a statement next week about the delay, it would turn a lot of people off and lose a lot of favour with the streamer base who stake a lot on certain dates.

You're underestimating the milking capabilities of some of these content creators.
Jonathan could drop a 7 second video titled prayIdontalterthedealanyfurther.mp4 staring directly into the camera saying "New league drops August 1st because we need time to hit our release dates. Deal with it." and there'd be a 30 minute video analyzing a 13x14p reflection in his glasses of wall art in his office depicting what could be an axe or a flail and then they'd use it to segue into the 'state of melee in poe2' and there'd be a reaction video from every other content creator every 3 days for the next 2 months with a weekly compilation video on every creator's opinion on 'the state of melee in poe2'.
There'll also be a post here in the forums titled "warrior sucks" and it'll be 40 pages long and derailed 8 times by people who have forty level 95 Warriors in hcssf explaining to people who gave up after they died over and over trying to spam rolling slam for 45 minutes why all their opinions are bad and 19 of the pages will just be 2 guys arguing over how to argue.
And then in July GGG will release a cryptographic teaser that people will put (pre 2026) FBI levels of forensic analysis into and I'm talking real tinfoil hattery shit where people are doing things like taking the flavour text of uniques from PoE1 and making anagrams of potential PoE2 patch notes because there was some pink shading behind a letter on the teaser and during pink league in PoE1 this unique was mentioned in the patch notes as the 1st word in the 8th paragraph and it matches with the date of 8/1 when the league launches.

Who am I to say anything, I don't respect my time either.
