Theoretically there should have been a stream before PTS and it could have happened next week.
If this is still the plan, it's hard to guess. Rocky times so I wouldn't be too much upset if they don't get to give us the usual preview.
Also, my main interest was in Warden rework, and that... I'm not betting on it coming this Update.

Yeah, the Warden rework was what I was looking forward to most. All of the reworks, honestly.

The DevChat livestream was listed in the July Survival Guide, but that was from before the layoffs hit. Even then though, it was listed as TBD. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets dropped for obvious reasons; by this point we have seen everything that will be in U51... except for the one thing most people want to see.

But the fact that PTS got delayed for [unspecified reasons somehow related to what people were talking about in chat] and the fact that evidently the devs decreed that nobody was even allowed to say the word "Warden," I don't have much hope that it'll be in U51. I don't even know if my Warden will still have his bear at this point with how secretive they're being.

I'm half-expecting that they'll announce that Warden was delayed right before PTS drops and then blame the layoffs for it, despite the fact that the original timeline would have had PTS drop (and therefore Warden be done) the day the layoffs hit.

But yeah, the one dev that people want to hear from (and especially now with the new Vengeance news...) is also one of the few Leads who was not caught in the layoffs... but he's also the one person who did not ascribe to Nick's "we're going to have more transparent communication and develop the game with the players feedback" idea.
