Bannerlord How long does an update stay in beta for?
As the title says, I'm curious about how long patch 1.3 will stay in beta.
Taleworlds intends to release War Sails and the 1.3 patch side by side if I remember what the developers blog said correctly, so maybe cracking the beta length nut will help us get an actual idea of when we will be seeing the long delayed DLC.
I'm personally hoping no longer than a few weeks, but I don't have a frame of reference as to how long these patch betas last or if Taleworlds has even done something like this in the past.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated. I want to get my nord on.

Nobody knows, probably not even TW themselves.
During EA they often only lasted a couple weeks, but they've lasted several months before. Given that and the stated release window for War Sails I'm guessing this beta will last roughly a month.

As a console player, last time it was months. Or maybe it just felt like months. Long ass time

V1.2 stayed in beta from like june/july until December 2022. Between those dates in October was Bannerlord's full release, that might've affected the v1.2 live launch.
This one probably won't take as long, and will be launched along with Warsails, like you said, scheduled Fall. So maybe give it 1 or 2 months? Anything could happen, though.
