He should reveal the date at Gamescom with large party/press/trailers/demos/gameplay,... If it's only couple of months away it's time to put out this sort of stuff.
DOn't think they'd have to worry too much, with a 2015 release planned for SC. Even then I think that SC will start off like any other MMO - smallish world with a lack of content and features. This will of course change over time but the X series already has its universe in place and 3-4 other x-games behind it that have actually been released. The content is already there.

Wow, I like it! I'd like to be able to kick back with a controller, but unless they have a mode with larger fonts, you'll still have to be up close and might as well use kb/m. I like how simplified it is compared to memories of Reunion. LOL It almost looks like an open world Mass Effect. I like the first person part.
he action-loaded space simulation from Egosoft and Deep Silver will be released in Europe on the 15th of November 2013. "After seven years in development, people are naturally wondering why X Rebirth took so much time," says Egosoft's Studio Head Bernd Lehahn. "The reason for this is the sheer scope of our project. We not only want our universe to be huge, we want it to be huge and teeming with life. To me, the success of the Star Citizen funding shows that many people are waiting for our kind of game. A single factory compound in X Rebirth may consist of hundreds of buildings, some of which are so large that ships measuring kilometers in length can dock inside them. The player can even disembark in order to explore the station and meet its inhabitants."
There's also some good news for our fans in North America: Egosoft and Tri Synergy will be releasing X Rebirth on the 19th of November 2013 for the US market.
We'd like to invite all our fans to visit the gamescom during the 22nd to 25th of August in Cologne. You will have the chance to play the new Egosoft title for the first time in public at the Deep Silver booth in hall 9.1 B11/C10. Be among the very first to set foot in the new universe of X Rebirth and gain a quick impression of its looks and gameplay.
