Fan fests aren't coming soon when 8.0 isn't coming out until the final months of 2026 at the absolute earliest. It's still June of 2025 for crying out loud.
8.0 will probably come out fall 2026.
Summer 2026 will be too soon and forcing it into summer 2027 might even kill this game entirely because peoples patience is already thin with the patch cycles and it would need some huge changes way above the graphics update to defend that.

They will probably change between summer and fall like Jeeqbit wrote.


I think there will be a small first announcement of fan fest and I am honestly really interested in it.
The DT one was already not that hype inducing in the community outside of the promised content and now that this content has shown its myriad weaknesses people will probably keep a really close eye on the promises and especially at things like the story and the content spreading as well as the jobs.
