[2023] Is there a specific date for the artist release other than "march"?

It is true we haven’t yet confirmed the date – we’ll let folks know during an announce in March

I am sorry not having the answer right now is not satisfying for you, but I won’t be announcing a release date of an update in a forum thread before it is ready or planned to be shared. This is why I let players know when to expect the official news. That is information that I can provide, and helps appropriately set expectations instead of potentially setting expectations that end up changing or being inaccurate and causing frustration and backlash.
