I was expecting Lightroom Classic 13.3 to be released earlier this week. Still no launch. Is this because next launch to be a big one, perhaps 14.0? When is the launch date anyway?

It is now over three months since last update. This is very unusual. Why the delay?

This has already been answered. @JtheNinja said: "While point releases are often a Tuesday around the middle of even-numbered months, Adobe never publicly promised that cadence."

 

Expecting a release on a certain date or certain time frame is not realistic.

While point releases are often a Tuesday around the middle of even-numbered months, Adobe never publicly promised that cadence. LR updates happen when they happen. It might be next week, it might be a few weeks from now. Also, when 13.3 does happen there's no guarantees it has anything besides bug fixes and camera/lens updates. Sometimes single point releases have new features, sometimes they do not.

 

Major releases are annual and coincide with Adobe MAX, or at least that's been the trend for a number of years now.

No, they were not expected to do so.

Adobe never disclose release dates as it breaches laws in the USA potentially.

The ne t dot is likely not too far away though. Major releases like 14 tend to coincide with events like Adobe Max ..
