Nobody knows. Usually the ladder lasts for 3 months, but the next patch will be a bigger patch with more added content. That's why the team announced that it's likely that they need more time than usual to release the next patch and reset the ladder. Anything from 3-6 months is possible according to the modders.
Since we are already approaching the end of March, I can safely say that 2.0 will not come in April. However I cannot comment on an approximate release date because the project is big and the changes are many, that can escalate in unexpected additional development/testing cycles. We have an internal release date to better organize the timeframes at our disposal but it's still pretty malleable and more akin to a goal/expectation than an appointment set in stone.

Plan is for 2.0 to come after 1.8 and it has been stated many times before that the goblin season is meant to be longer than the usual ones, and will last as long as it is needed to develop what will be 2.0
So yeah, you can expect it to be months older. With goblins taking the role of loot piñatas the seson is built to boost ssf, improving longevity by letting the players experiment much more with different characters/builts even in the absence of trades.
There is still time for the players to try characters never played before and to see if something fun can be discovered.ParticuLarry wrote:Thanks for the update! Are there any minor changes that you can announce to hype us up?

I think we can scrape off May too as a realistic deadline.
