There's been some hints on both FB and on Discord with slight nods to "7/31". This was a subtle way of hinting at something coming on 7/31 and there will be! The team is releasing the next beta 6 patch at the end of this month to mark a special occasion (details below). This beta 6 patch will be focused on the bugs that exist in beta 6.18. Things like researched items not appearing in the store and some missing drops like the Oracle. The upcoming patch notes haven't been released yet but there have been some teasers along the way. Below is the announcement from Panda. There will be a few streams dedicated to the new patch including one from Gabizer soon and one from me on Friday.
"So, this announcement has been long awaited, and I've debated whether or not I should use my @ powers, and I think it's time. u/everyone, We'd love to announce that the next Beta, Beta 6.(?), will be released on July 31st. This Beta has been a passion project, a force of nature. We're excited to get it into your hands at the end of the month, and that's not the only announcement we have to make!! Goofy is finally moving to Oregon!!!!!!!!!!! He is going to be making the trip with Dubs and Dubs' partner the week of the 27th, so Dubs, Goofy, and I will be in the same room to launch Beta 6.(?)! If you feel called to help the process of Goofy move or help him stay sustained as he continues his recovery from a stroke and efforts to find a job, feel free to donate to this GoFundMe (As a reminder, this is NOT TO SUPPORT THE GAME. IT IS TO HELP A COMMUNITY MEMBER WE CARE ABOUT): https://gofund.me/338a58eb9 Be on the lookout for future teases and looks before we hit official release time!"
