You said Summer 2020. Summer officially ends in one week. Let’s make it happen.

I suspect this stems from the timeline section of last Runefest's keynote speech. The word 'summer' is mentioned, and Orthen soon after (but with a clear - to me - break in the speech and showing it at the end of the visual timeline on the screen). Regardless, these such talks are only ever plans, not promises.
I can understand how one might misinterpret that, and also that not everyone keeps up with all our official communications.
The only official communications since then, suggesting any sort of release date, is a dev Q&A livestream from a few weeks ago. Here is Rubic's tl;dw, with a link to the VOD (watch from the 12-minute mark for the clearly stated October release window - still not a promise, especially given how bad 2020 has been for us all):

Oh, and Mod Orion tweeted about our progress going well also a few weeks or so back.
All that said, since we set our October release internally (when we started dev a few months ago), it has not moved, and nor does it look like it will need to. It's coming along nicely. Expect to hear more about it in early October (I would guess). I hope you're all gonna like it!
Small note to all: sprint review is just something we do every 2 weeks for all work in active development. Mod Warden was just referring to the particular review we had held just before that Q&A livestream.
