Do you think Iowa can come out in July? I give it a 90% chance

[Kistk3]

Below are the 15 topics about Iowa reimaining to be covered up in a blog by SCS, of course not all of them will make it, some will merge together. But at least 10 of them definitely will receive a blog. So the answer is no, there is no 90% of chance Iowa to be realeased by July. It's more likely will be released around November or December.

What lol no way Iowa comes Nov or Dec. It'd be shocking if it slips past the summer, that would make it an even bigger gap than Kansas -> Missouri. Like I get people were spooked by Missouri's long development time, but that can't be the new norm, and I certainly wouldn't expect it to get worse. Nov would be 18 months after Nebraska which would be absurd.

If not Nov. or Dec, so a later summer (Sep.) or early autumn (Oct.)

I still stand by Iowa at least projecting an July or August release so maybe summer or early Q3 2025 is still possible.

lol Nov/Dec for Iowa? Not a chance, that should be the goal for Louisiana, Iowa has a really good chance of releasing in July/August, how many blogs are left on the Microsite doesn't really matter anymore, they can merge and skip topics as they wish.

In addition to blogs being cut, merged, or ignored, this is also ignoring the tendency for blog posts to come much quicker together as the DLC gets closer to release. We’re already at 1 Iowa blog a week. If that pace keeps up, we’ll be out of blogs by late July/early August.

I’d say July is optimistic but realistic. The dream is we get Louisiana for November as well.

Agreed!
I suppose time will tell.

Next major patch, is what I think. Unless that patch is specifically for the Async Loading.
