WOW! We are finally going deeper into the continent. Arcadia! Even though it's just an article and not a full bock I can't help but feel excited. The team is making really good choices for the final articles so far! Hope there's a stat block for this ursher

I've a feeling the usher is Barzhak.I'm hoping it won't be one that appears in April's Concordance of Rivals.Does this mean you want us to skip one in Concordance of Rivals so it can appear here? Or provide one here that hasn't been mentioned in any product before?
(Which it is, and whether it's appeared in Concordance of Rivals, is already locked in; I'm just trying to get at what you're asking.)
For me, guess it depends on how detailed they are? I wouldnt mind a full deity write-up of Batzhak or any other of the ushers.

I just don't want any duplication, since I'm getting both products.

The entries in the Concordance of Rivals are somewhat shorter, usually a column or a single page at most for a given entry. The article included with the AP is 6 pages long, which lets us take a deep dive into the usher. Even if there is some overlap, you'd be getting a lot more material with this article compared to the brief look in Concordance.

Anxiously waiting for the description and cover update.
Indeed. Had my hopes high for today, but I can patiently wait till next week.

Just watched the Pathfinder Friday show from last week, amazing as ever, and James is such a funny guest and his knowledge of the setting is so rich. I wonder why? XD
Anyway, this volume comes with an article covering Arcadia, and it seems like we are getting news about the deities from that continent!
I might have made clear how much I love the many faiths and deities of the setting, from the demon lords, to the Eldest, to the Heavenly Court to the core deities. So, I'm pretty excited to see if there's a new pantheon for the entire continent, how many there are besides Kazutal, and of course, how they will be presented as this is an article and not a book... I hope there's a table for their names, portfolio, domains, etc.

The article only covers one nation in Arcadia, unfortunately. A single article wouldn't be large enough to even give a simple overview of the entire continent.
Instead, the article will give you a sizable gazetteer of both the nation and the city within the adventure. You still get a good glimpse at notable events in Arcadia's history and get a peek at just a few of the deities important whose worship is prominent in that particular nation.
If you are wanting to see more Arcadia, make sure to buy this book and let us know!

When is this going to be updated?!
Soon™.
:)
Marco,
Don't forget about GenCon and the release of 2nd edition PF.

Marco,
Don't forget about GenCon and the release of 2nd edition PF.
Gen Con is still over two and a half months away and all second edition books have been sent to the printer as far as i know. ;-)
Sure, there will still be some 2nd edition things to do, but the bulk of work should be done.I imagine it has more to do with what Steve Geddes mentioned elsewhere: Paizo looking for a new webstore coordinator.

When can we perhaps see an updated version of this? May is half way gone and June is just around the corner. Just wondering!
Calm down buddy, the entire team has been busy with Paizocon prep and the event itself. On top of that, they're still looking to hire a Webstore coordinator, which may also be why we haven't gotten as timely of updates.
Which is why I hope that, during maintenance on the Third, they take some time to update the descriptions of the products. If they've got it to spare, of course.

I figure it will be a nice surprise, like back in the day when Amazon only had the mock cover images so the book you ordered looked WAY different on the cover.
Customer Service just created the June shipping thread 17 min ago, so it should be updated with final image soon.
I don't see the connection. These are usually updated a couple of months, minimum, before the product goes on sale. There's a nontrivial chance the image has been lost or there's some sort of tech/personnel issue preventing the update. We might just see this go on sale without the real cover ever being updated.
I'd find it hilarious if the final cover art contains some kind of spoiler and that's why they're holding it back.

That would be a bad idea. How many GMs have players who stay away from game stores?
And they will be running the auths this Thursday. They really need to let people know enough about this volume to help them decide to subscribe or just buy this volume.
They've just fallen behind due to circumstances, they'll update as soon as possible I'm sure.
Alternatively, you could start a thread in website feedback, as it might've slipped through the cracks.
You can actually see the cover in their trailer for the AP. The following covers will both feature the Tyrant, in his lich form and using his helmet magical abilities to turn into a black dragon... Or that's actually a black dragon.

A personnel issue like, say, not having a Webstore Coordinator?
Also, the previous volume's cover & blurb weren't updated until early May. I have a feeling that was also because the Webstore Coordinator position is currently open, although I fully admit I could be wrong.

You are absolutely right.
It is 100% the vacant webstore coordinator job being open for a few months already.In the past, updates were punctual and early and everything was good. ;-)

There will be NO RELEASES IN JULY 2019, so don't expect any shipping thread with that name in july.
There will however be TWO RELEASE WINDOWS IN AUGUST 2019 (august 1st & august 28th), so the (early) August 2019 thread will probably go online in late july, in time for people to prepare for Gen Con. ;-)
More like mid-July for the August 1st Gen Con releases. Note that August 1st is only about a week later than the street date would otherwise have been for July releases.
