Just to see what could possibly come up, I did a search for Star Wars Destiny Empire at War release event and saw a few places advertising release events for September 16th. Does this mean the release will be next week? Here's to hoping....

RookiePilot just shared this in another thread:

Looks like the official release date is slated for the 14th.

Yes, it's 14th, and no pre release this time.
