Since the APs this year are War for the Crown and Return of the Runelords, it's unlikely that the Osiriani countdown clock will factor into the storylines this year. According to Echoes of Glory, War for the Crown begins in 4717, and we know that Return takes place before Jade Regent, so there's no reason to believe it's set in 4718 AR.
I hope these are intentional decisions by the team. From what I've gathered, the countdown clocks were introduced back in 2009, and could easily have been retconned out or the year changed. But they've doubled down on the concept, featuring details about the lore in Occult Mysteries.
Are you excited? Do you think this will be tackled in 2019? I know there isn't intended to be much overlap between Starfinder and Pathfinder, but considering we're talking about a potential alien invasion, I can't help but speculate.
What's scarier? The clocks reaching zero, and aliens pouring out of the woodwork? Or the clocks reaching zero... and nothing (visibly) happening at all? ^_^

Ooh, I love that. Especially in the Age of Lost Omens. Though is this prophesy or numerology? The astrological philosophers of Lirgen failed to predict Aroden's death just like everyone else. They also have a connection to the Dominion of the Black. Coincidence? Not on Golarion!

In fact... the Playtest Adventure, "Doomsday Dawn," is pretty much all about this exact plot, and is intended to wrap up the Aucturn Enigma and countdown wall/clock storyline we started back in the early days of the module line.
So, not only does it happen around the time of GenCon and the playtest... it IS the playtest.
No fair! I was already going stir crazy waiting for the playtest rules. Now I have to also withstand my excitement for this awesomeness? There are some seriously long months ahead between now and August. :D
*rubs his tentacles in some salt*
Today is Day 86. 2 August is Day 214. Including today there are 129 days to go until the Final Countdown begins.
