So, when DE announced the Old Blood update, I was confused because the Kuva Lich system was something I thought would come with Empyrean. Along with this, I recall DE subtly saying that Empyrean would be out by this fall. However, it doesn’t look like it since it’s already the end of October and that would leave DE with just one month to finish touches on at least the first portion of Empyrean. Am I missing something? If not, this makes me worried since New War is also slated for December.

I assume that Empyrean isn't coming until next year, but if not, does anyone know when it's release date is? I say this mainly because I fear there might be another content drought like the one before the jovian Concord and even before that. Thank you for your time!
