Discovered on the various convention websites, the following information about summer releases is now available:

Origins (no blurbs, all optimised for 6th level characters)

BWC-6 None Left Behind

CDX-6 Turn of the Page

CSH-6 What Rough Beast

CVN-6 The Price of Virtue

EXP-4 Sands of Fate and Fortune

GenCon Indy (with blurbs :D)

BWC-7 A Test of Mettle
Hold the outpost. That one bridge... that one corridor... Hold it at all costs. What little remains of the Blackwheel special operatives forces are airdropped in on a dragonshard export depot. It will be up to a small group of elite Blackwheel operatives to rally the remaining guard of Annex and repel the attackers until House Deneith forces can arrive. Optimized for 7th-level characters.

CDX-7 A Costly Truth
New leadership within the Crimson Codex has brought the animosity within the organization to conflict. With so many foes striking at the Codex, and the Prophecy hinting at disaster, the Serpents of the Crimson Codex may be all that stand between stability and chaos. Optimized for 7th-level characters.

CSH-7 Whispers Behind the Door
The Hand of Stalwart Reverie is the Cabal of Shadows' secret impregnable fortress in the heart of Stormreach; or is it? The Cabal is not alone in the dark and something else whispers, just on the other side of the door. Optimized for 7th-level characters.

CVN-7 Dark Fugitive
A fortunate chance has revealed the location of a war criminal wanted on countless acts of cruelty and barbarism. Seeking to mend the growing rift between the Covenant of Light and the Church of the Silver Flame, the faction's leaders send their best and brightest on a mission into the heart of Xen'drik itself. Will the jungle swallow them, never to be seen again, or is this the dark fugitive's last stand? Optimized for 7th-level characters.

EXP-5 Shargon's Rage
Sailors say that a bright new day rolls in on every tide. But when darkness and dire fog cloak the coming of a deadly fleet, will the city of Stormreach survive to see another dawn? The heroes and villains of Xen'drik are in for the longest night of their lives... Optimized for 7th-level characters.

There's obviously no news on when these will be available outside conventions, but it's useful to know that we shouldn't expect another module before Origins, at least. Also means that we'll probably only have a few weeks to play the 6th module (and EXP-4) between Origins and the level-bump blackout.

The sixth Faction adventures and 4th Expedition adventure actually premiere at GenCon France at the end of May. Premiering them at Origins would have been too late, as you mention. So there will be about two months to play these adventures (between the end of May and the end of July when they retire).

Our plan is to release DM's Marks for every single Faction adventure. All of them. Including these. :-)

I should note that while the accompanying DM's Marks will be released, I don't believe the big shows plan to run them.
