Battlecry! didn't get specifically revealed until February of last year. War of Immortals was announced in April the year before. The thing that the announcement is coming later this time is because for the Battlecry! classes, we knew the name of the book from the Playtest, while we don't know that from this one.
Yes, people are wrong about how early GenCon books are generally announced. And both “generally” and “announced” are also not particularly reliable descriptors. They’ve done teases in Twitch, Paizocin keynote announcements, and increasingly stealth product page postings or retail reseller leaks attributed to when/how they sell forthcoming books to wholesalers/Amazon/B&N pre-“announcement.” Last time I looked at this first word of GenCon books as a promised product runs January through late March.

Is it possible we could get any insight into why the impossible play test classes haven't been released yet, or announced? Is paizo slowing down the release schedule for new classes, has starfinder taken up employees time, etc? I've seen a lot of theories and heresay but no official answer, though I might have missed it somewhere. It was a bummer when 2026 gencon products weren't announced last gencon, when they have been since I've been into this hobby.
Continuation on our Impossible Playtest was always planned for 2026, so we appreciate your patience on this! Nothing has been announced since all we can say right now is what we have been saying for a while, which is that something Impossible is coming 2026!
Alright. Well thanks for the reply
I have heard back from the team! They let me know that there won’t be a set of fall FAQs this year. The designers have had packed schedules, and no rules issues have been big enough to need emergency errata. There will be a set of FAQ updates next year to reflect some errata that go with upcoming book reprints. Those will incorporate suggestions from the errata threads here on the forums, which they'll continue to use as one of the resources they look at when preparing future errata and clarifications. Thank you very much for creating them and raising issues you’ve found in your games! They're an immense help to the team!
No updates as well on the Impossible Playtest, but keep an eye out in 2026!
Thanks for the update, Maya. :)
I get it. This has been a crazy year for Paizo, and this errata wasn't the highest priority. Hopefully things will be a bit calmer for all of you next year.
An announced book with contents and a date. A playtest is not a commit to publish anything at all or at a given time.

Aaaah!! Yes! That's so exciting, awesome! Thank youuu
Oooh, that's great to hear! I was expecting to have months to wait before the next playtest. Very excited to hear it won't be much longer.
Speculation: Last December was the Impossible Playtest, so I'm betting it's new Pathfinder classes to playtest.
