They did try at one point, if I remember correctly they did a quarterly announcement on the website with dates for the first event a week or two in advance and approximate dates for the others that quarter, which was going to be updated for each event. Then for some reason the second announcement was in the background of an unrelated live stream where not many people noticed it, and after that they stopped doing them again.
The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle is coming on June 6 for PC, Mac, and Stadia players. Console players on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S will have to wait a bit longer, with the new chapter arriving on June 21.
A google search shows that about six weeks ago, media sites were informed that High Isles drops on June 6 for PC.

A similar thread was done for Q1 events as well.

Why would you go out of you way to say "The First of May" When "May First" suffices. That's it. That's the philosophy of M D Y a smooth translation between written and spoken language.
and before you go off being like "That barely saves time why bother?" We are all lazy & have symbols for 2 & 3 letter words. Get @ me.
"Why use many word when few do trick?"

I'm a programmer, I favour YYYYMMDD because it will sort without pissing about.
If you put a Date on something, then you are expected to adhere to it. But if you put vague SOON.tm, then you won't be held to the same standard. It's super annoying, but that's how people do things

So they can't be relied upon to meet exact dates and deadlines, so they can't post what release dates are going to be because they don't know themselves. "They're working on it" all the time though.

And a Brazilian man agree.
YYYYMMDD is the only date format that is acceptable. All of the others are a pain to sort using string sort algorithms.
