Mid-Season Weapon Drops: Potential Delay for Apollo?

I’ve been thinking this might be the case for awhile… but the crucible update has some interesting wording in it. Notably this section about Inquisitor:

We will also be adding a third weapon to this group later in the Episode, as part of a late-season refresh.

The last two episodes haven’t had something similar to this. The few times we have seen mid-season weapon drops have been the 30th anniversary and Into the Light updates. Both updates provided content and gear drops to bridge gaps for major DLC delays

Now, I’m most likely reading too much into this. However… it’s very weird for Bungie to not tease Apollo yet. Normally we get a teaser a couple of months in advance so Bungie can sell preorders. Especially while managing the logistics and manufacturing for collector editions. We are only about 4ish months out from a May/June release window without any news from Bungie or a Sony Showcase of some sort.

I’m sure Bungie will give some kind of heads up soon! Hell, we don’t even have an official date for Apollo yet. But I’m just getting the vibes that we shouldn’t expect a Summer 2025 release date at this point.
