The most recent statement was 'hopefully in time for Tentacles, almost
certainly in time for Continuum'. So weeks or months, barring
unforeseen complications. LotW2 has no planned release date yet, and
I'd imagine it won't be out until next year at the earliest.

Under the Red Moon. LotW2 is the same size.
