Towards the end (around 1:03:10), Marco did let drop that they're aiming for a release in September or October now. Fingers crossed!

Nothing worse then hugh day0 patch, that show the game is basicly Alpha and not released.

While I agree, I swear people say exactly the same thing before every single post about a DW release.
