[Sword 2] Renaissance: Nov 18, 2010 (?)
The last tentative date given for Sword 2: Renaissance (v5.0.23) is Nov 18, 2010. See Sword 2 v5.0.23 & Pirate Events for forum quotes. According to Neume's Video Blog #4 (posted Oct 08), G1 is expecting an update from IMC "in the next 3 weeks", after which some more testing is needed before making the update live.

More Sword 2 Update: Oct 22, 2010

As far as the patch date, we are still hoping for November but logistically we know December seems more likely. We just sent the text this week. IMC takes 3 weeks to create a patch and we usually take 3-4 weeks to QA. This time around we may do SIGNIFICANTLY less testing and just verify no crashes then patch to live and update text on live. This would potentially reduce test time. HOWEVER, we are unsure how long it will take us to test the new version because it is so large. So, we're playing by ear. [Source]
