Question re: Pathfinder Battles: Armies of the Dead

I apologize if this question has a widely known answer, I did search for the subject in the forums but nothing came up.

WizKids website and other online stores (MiniatureMarket) have listings for Pathfinder Battles: Armies of the Dead. With an estimated release date as April 2024 (on MiniatureMarket) and Q3 2024 (on WizKids site). But it's not in line on the Pathfinder Battles Ongoing Case subscription, which offers PB: Mwangi Expanse and the upcoming PB: Fearsome Forces case, supposed to release on 18 September 2024.

Wizkids website and other online stores (MiniatureMarket) also have listings for Fearsome Forces. WizKids also says Q3 2024, MiniatureMarket says September 2024.

Basically I'm asking "what's the deal?" It looks like Armies of the Dead be releasing soon, but if that's the case, it looks like it's not part of Paizo's Battles subscription (so it might be worth pre-ordering on another site). Is it possible the dates are wrong, and Armies of the Dead should be out in April 2025, so subscribers will have it after Fearsome Forces is released? Just trying to clarify things so I know how to plan what to buy.

Are numbers available anywhere? Traditionally the RPG industry has been shy about publishing specific sales numbers. The closest I always found was ICv2, which just had a ranking of 1-5 for sales for a quarter and is often erroneously held up as an example of what's the greatest game at the moment. Like the Star Wars RPG pops up there whenever there's a Star Wars movie on the horizon.

However well it's doing, Paizo does seem like it could do more of a social media push, sponsor some/more live play of games and stuff. Those seem to be incredibly popular right now.
“Why do you think Sarenrae is good aligned? She opened the Pit of Gormuz and left it open just so the Tarrasque and his brethren could escape. That means she’s clearly evil.”

I suppose this is a good example of why 'She teaches temperance and patience in all things.' Because when you act out of haste or anger, bad things can happen.
What about Golarion bugs you?

The lack of progressive evil.

The primary evil nations of Cheliax, Geb, Irrisen and Nidal are all working on internal things or settled and don't seem like they're going to be out and invading in any foreseeable future.

Most of the great evils are contained or otherwise unable to act, an actual demon lord has made a presence in the Worldwound but is locked in, Rovagug is imprisoned, Tar-Baphon is locked away. The Runelords are asleep.

I realize these exist so you can make plot threads with them, but maybe I'm just too used to a metaplot or something. It just seems like the world is...static.
