Historically, CCP does winter releases in December or early January. Spring in March, and Summer as early as May.

First day of winter is dec 22nd.

So if the phraseology was "Winter 2015", that means between December 22nd- December 31st, for the remainder of winter that comes on and after Jan 1st would be 2016.

So if they don't provide the content before 2016, they're dirty liars.

Gamma adjustment is considered a primary feature. Really now? You're gonna brag about that CCP?

Talk about low balling it...

My thoughts exactly. Winters should just officially start in January from now on. No more clarification needed.

Do we have a set date for the "Winter" release.

People want to know when the new ships are rolling out.

Right because Winter 2015 realistically mean December update? Otherwise it's in 2016... Or they are throwing an arbitrary date out there.

No, doesn't necessarily mean the December release.

It's winter 2015 because the season starts in December. But the release of the ships can be anytime from December to February.

With the recent changes to the release cadence (still every 5 weeks odd, but smaller stuff being released when it is ready and major expansions coming back), they could more or less be released at anytime CCP have the development work finished, but I suspect they'll be tied into a specific release.



This follows with their previous track record for vague information dissemination
