Road Map for next SAVAGE tier or Ultimate?

Didn't see any info on the next savage tier projection and only whispers of the Ultimate. Did anyone catch more info on these two things?

Next savage tier isn't til .4 and next ultimate won't be til .5

Weren't they forgoing doing another Ultimate this expansion?

Savages drop in even numbered patches. This is the odd one. And id also heard the plan was 2 ultimates(the one we have and one in the .5 range), but i cant give you a link or anything.

I wanna say they just delayed it. They at least haven't outright said they are only doing one ultimate.
To be honest, I prefer the second ultimate being in the .5 patch, because it means there's something actually relevant to use your fancy best in slot relic weapon on (though I guess that's mostly from a theoretical position since I'm not nearly ultimate ready).

They said in previous LL / Interview somewhere that they intentionally move 2nd ultimate to x.5 patches to give players a challenge during the pre-expansion content draught. Basically to make them play longer during x.5.

Do we have any clue what the next Ultimate will be?

Assuming on ongoing pattern:

4.1 - Bahamut + Dragons
4.3 - Ultima Weapon + Story primals
5.1 - Alexander + Brute Justice & Cruise Chaser

I speculate the following:

5.5 - King Thordan + Warring Triad (key info why WT is a quote from the fight, "O Ascalon, drink deep of the power of slumbering gods")
6.1 - Omega, either himself in many forms and evolutions or involving fights of the raids. Not necessarily only O4S and O8S since TEA broke that pattern already
6.5 - either Shinryu or something related to the Four Lords saga

In a nutshell, x.1 Ultimate is most likely related to the final raid boss of savage raids while x.3/5 ultimates are related to key story bosses of two expansions ago.

Seems likely to be King Thorden, possibly combined with Nidhogg. The second ultimate last expac was based on MSQ bosses, but I don't think they would have ravana or bismark part of the ultimate since they don't have much connection to the overall story.

Could just be Thorden alone, I know that they apparently wanted to make the extreme longer to account for every member of the heaven's ward, but it was getting too long, so they truncated it. Well, Ultimate would be the one place to go fully hog wild.
