Yep, for boxed releases there should be a deadline this week or the next one. Even for digital distribution they'll still need a sort of gold version (not sure the term applies for digital distribution?) to work on and get the installer ready etc, which would also require a good week or 2 the first time.
That's assuming that QA goes fine, which is not guaranteed given how much the last part of the development seems to have been a race. In any case, we'll probably hear the good or bad news in the next 10 days.
