Will the content updates after Forsaken Shores be back-to-back?

@seldros some people are saying only 3 more but i recall reading three more after forsaken shores in that article kattruewalker put up the other day which is more current than that road map and was from mike chapman. i was also wondering how this can work they will have to up their output is the only way its possible like you suggested.

i think we can see the bilge rat adventures right now. i mean i see these cursed sails doubloons as bilge rat adventures. time limited gives doubloons titles and limited time cosmetics lasts a week or two, goes in the bilge rat column on your stats page. so i consider these the weekly adventures. they just happen to be using fresh content this time. so i dont think they have to be inbetween updates they can take advantage of the content in the update. with that thinking it would be possible to always have updates and continue the adventures promised.

The article said every 6-8 weeks on an update with the 4 teams.
Also said that 6 expansions in the year.. maybe they mean year until launch date again and not calendar?

All in all, this means Rare's online pirate game will have six hefty expansions, plus a few features added through the regular events, by the end of the year - an impressive feat compared to the likes of Destiny, where new expansions are only release once or twice a year.

I am not sure we will see the november release since early-mid sept for shores puts that next 8 weeks in november but too close to what they are saying an end of year one in december. Unless that is the 4th team's job and they will sneak one in.

I'll be very interested to see their plans post-Forsaken Shores. Like many of you here I was also trying to get a better idea of their development calendar, and trying to imagine how they would manage to get three more DLCs post-Forsaken Shores before the end of the calendar year.

However, as some of you pointed out, perhaps it's not necessarily the end of the calendar year but rather year from the date of launch. So by the time we hit SOTs 1-yr anniversary well have the six DLCs, and several Bilge Rat Adventures (BRAs) in between. I'm really looking forward to what's to come.

Despite the hate certain BRAs have received I think they're a nice change of pace, and encourage us to play the game differently even if it's for a short amount of time. As the game grows and adds more tools, I can see these taking on very unique spins on what's possible in game.

@seldros We had weekly events, then we had bi-weekly events, and finally we got tri-weekly events. I'd be very happy if Rare consistently put out Bilge rat adventures every week because it gives players meaning to play the game. Now with the Cursed Sails being extended by a week, I doubt that there'll even be one Bilge Rat adventure between the next major content update. And it's not like my assumption is misplaced either; we all know that Rare has been well known for breaking promises and causing unrest in the community.

Of course I'm more than happy to be proven wrong; more content is always a good thing!
