Definitely feels like they're happy with the state of the game now and they're trying to soft 'relaunch' it. Either way, they clearly haven't just given up on MEA.

Now we know why they disabled denuvo. Am I mistake or did EA used the same strategy in other games?

It would make sense to release the DLC somewhat closer to ME:Annihilation novel which origianl title was "The lost Ark". I bet the first week of September.

I've got a feeling they're going to do it at the San Diego Comic con even more so now. given they seem to hyping up activity around the game again. The other clue being the big bosses of the project are there so it's starting to make more and more sense that's what I think they'll do.

Maybe but they might drop a DLC before then though. They might stick to the timelines set by the books but then they might release when it's ready rather than wait. But then it might not be a DLC related to the quarians but a DLC related to something else we don't know. It may not even be a DLC at all but I think it's a high probability it is though. If it's a DLC that's not related to the quarians then it dosen't necessarily have to stick to when the quarian book comes out. Of course this is all speculation so we'll find out the truth in time.

It may not even matter If, for example, its a book about the journey of the lost ark before an appearance in MEA, is it really a big deal whether the DLC releases July, August, or September? Seems rather aux information, or potentially so. Sure they want to release in the rough timeframe.

Now, I find their their behaviour this week really weird. Like they're launching the game again.
I have to say, I would have been pissed back in march, but they should have delayed it.

I think that they are trying some kind of soft relaunch, since the game had to be released a mess because of fiscal quarter whatever corporate bs. The damage has been done to its rep because of that mandate, but maybe they hope word of mouth will help redeem the game if enough people try it and see what they've fixed.

My guess is this dlc if it exists will probably be a new planet. Same happened with DA:I and the jaws of hakkon with the brand new area. I'm still on my first playthrough and I got bored of the existing areas so I started it and its fucking gorgeous best area in the game so far for me.

Not that I'm certain that it'll happen, but the 'no DLC, Bioware abandoned it for Anthem' claims with their own certainty, is annoying. It took 4 months for Jaws of Hakkon, partially due to patching. It took 5 months for Leviathan, partially due to patching and Extended Cut. Its 4 months at the moment.
And in both ME3 and DAI, they then went through a rush of up to several months of multiple DLCs and still some but slower patches, and still some but declining MP updates.
So we have an Internet gangpiling the game at release, and certain publication(s?) with reports of no more content (expressed in a rumor sense though), a hoax of no DLC, and we have people 4 months after release acting certain that the game is dead, will get minimal patching (though its still getting some) and no SP DLC (though there's nothing clear from Bioware themselves that says that's the case).

I can only guess they're hoping people will try the game now, maybe lots of them to 'see what all the fuss was about', and be pleasantly surprised now it's been massively patched.
And to be fair, we do see pretty much daily posts on places like here and the ME subreddit from people saying they've just got the game and don't understand what all the complaints were about, so there could be some merit in that plan.

My guess is this dlc if it exists will probably be a new planet. Same happened with DA:I and the jaws of hakkon with the brand new area. I'm still on my first playthrough and I got bored of the existing areas so I started it and its fucking gorgeous best area in the game so far for me. I find that first Bioware DLCs usually utilize older/existing assets the most. Whether it is Day 1s (Exiled Prince, From Ashes), or months after release (Leviathan, Jaws of Hakkon). They do however put a twist on those assets, include some new assets, and integrate the most with the existing campaign as late-game or shorter-term post-game story material. They don't take too many months-of-development-long gutsy moves with design, but they do try to at least be responsive either to pre-release late internal testing, or post-release critique. EDIT: the mid Bioware DLCs are closest to filler and particular experiments. Perhaps by other studios. Overlord or LOTSB? Descent? Omega? An exception somewhat is the Legacy thing as Mark of the Assassin was more filler, but a case might be made that Legacy might have been filler in another situation (different DA3 villain, plot). Then final DLCs are the closest they can get to an expansion pack without spending several months or more on an actual expansion pack: Arrival (bridge so not expansion based), DA2 one scrapped, Citadel which might have otherwise been something else, Trespasser which was pure post-release response. So yes, its easiest for me to predict a final(? at least 'official/lost') ark, and a planet that may end up to be the habitation of both Turians and Quarians. Fleet and Flotilla, getting Turians into the game in case you paid attention to them getting rather minimal focus this time around. Contained and open area. A core plot more weaved into an open zone. Might even be available both before the ending (though after a mid-game mission) and after the ending. Not focused on the biggest revelations but perhaps provides further enjoyable material and some interesting context. Acts as another (after stuff like Architects and 100% viability, etc) layer of endgame, or rather has more of it designed for that than the base game. Potential to change base game material in minor to moderate ways, but not very likely. Potential to open up to other post-ending SP content and MP content that involves other species: Geth, Volus, Hanar, Elcor, Drell. A second DLC would be more of a separated excursion so not necessarily get involved with the more messy situation presented by the main game/first DLC.
That's how I see it. But if there's any DLC track, another will be coming in Fall, and if it goes well, a final(?) one in Winter-Spring. And we're done. Spring-Summer-Fall 2018 is a mix of a MEA Complete Edition/EA Access integration/MP grind with no new content/SP multiple playthroughs with no new content.... and Anthem hype. Perhaps Summer Dragon Age 4 reveal. MEA2/ME4/ME5 or whatever 2020+, don't count on 2020 in particular.
