We got our first hint of Epic with the announcement of the range ruler than went to range 5.

Let's take a similar hint for timing, shall we?

Notice this one little clause in the announcement for Worlds:

Running alongside the Last Chance Qualifier on Wednesday is the 2019 Coruscant Invitational, a team event featuring the winners of the System Open Series. This is a multi-round event that will feature every faction in the game, as well as the new Epic Play for the second edition of X-Wing . This is sure to be an event full of twists and turns, topped off with a grand finale that only a game like X-Wing could provide.

It seems to me that, at the very least, there will be some sort of rule set available by October.

I'll indulge in a little bit of hope...after all, I am mostly a Rebel player.

Sounds like a GenCon announcement

The hopeful side of me thinks we should at least see the Epic Battles pack by October, if not the huge ships themselves. But maybe all we'll get is a simple rules set about how to play big battles with multiple people. Which would still be cool, but I just want those new products!

Epic was teased at Celebration. So, do we get the full announcement at the FFG Inflight Report at GenCon for a 3rd or 4th QTR release or...

Do we get an article in the next few weeks with the announcement for a Sept release but with a GenCon early release like they did with 2.0?

Looks like Epic by October will be happening! They said "The beginning of Q4" so it's all but a given at this point, pretty much. With the Raider following "soon after" maybe we can even indulge a fool's hope that it could release the week before worlds? Or is that too optimistic?

GenCon presale would be a dream come true

I think GenCon presage is pretty much a given, considering the timing of the announcement and supposed release
