Release of the 11.2 mid august.
The raid opens one week later and reveals the ending cinematic.
Midnight announcement one week later at the Gamescom.

11.2.5 and 11.2.7 will probably continue the transition between TWW and Midnight but I think that we need to see the end of the raid to understand the next expansion.Comment by BlackzeroWe will be told about how we are gonna fight a big fat super duper villain aka Antagonist but by the end we will learn, oh my lord, that is not a villain but nice cute puppy who wishes nothing but to safe us ...Comment by ElpizoPrediction: 11.2 drops August 5th/6th, raid opens 12th/13th, a week to clear on ANY difficulty before the reveal. Im thinking story not RTWF.Comment by NinjaFlibblePrediction: 11.2 drops August 5th/6th, raid opens 12th/13th, a week to clear on ANY difficulty before the reveal. Im thinking story not RTWF.Comment by BrimzThere is no 11.3, no recycled Fated because after 11.2.7 we get prepatch in March and Midnight around May-June.

i will never understand why they call köln "cologne" :D thats not even close..Colonia AgrippinaColoniaComment by thirty8overheadThis probably also suggests the 11.2 release, definitely they want raid cleared by this date, so either 12.08 or even a week before (?)Comment by BlazemoreWe will be told about how we are gonna fight a big fat super duper villain aka Antagonist but by the end we will learn, oh my lord, that is not a villain but nice cute puppy who wishes nothing but to safe us ...Comment by HelotharI have the suspicion that the background is actually a shot from the expansion cinematic or official art later to be added as background to the Battle.net launcher. Anyway, I got my hopes up that this cinematic will be grand and full of spectacular void FX. We'll see.
