Just whispers on the Discord. IIRC June-ish release, single player starters starting with Empire (Chinese) and Crown, then Union towards the end of the year, then... Enlightened? early '25 and so on.

Right now there's not much. We know its coming and its coming this year, but not really any great detail beyond that. I think they are aiming for around mid-year somewhere; but we also know there's a new AoS editoin landing them so they might try and land one side or the other of it .

There are some small tidbits being released in the DW boxes with some artwork for Armoured Clash, so a release is very imminent. Here's a Crown and Empire banner from the latest Vauban boxed set:

The most interesting thing is seeing the aircraft in those images. We already know they are making a big investment in resin models with the large tanks they showed off at Salute.
Aircraft in them could be huge - as big as any of GW's aircraft if to scale.
Of course they might just be there for the artwork, they are not bound to do what they show in art to theme the release and certainly infantry and tanks are going to be a big focus

The things in the sky are regular DW fliers, much too large for Clash scale.

One the one hand i understand whey they didn't want to combine DW and AC but on the other they miss out on a lot of cross-buying and double dipping

I know when they originally proposed it years ago it was a very unpopular idea. That was when Spartan closing doors was a very fresh event and everyone thought WC was going to start up production very soon (I think even WC thought that until they got the messy post-closedown material*).
That said I think time has helped ease that pressure off and people are more excited to see fresh models. The change in scale does let them do different tings and I think there is a sane point that the combined arms approach to all 3 theatres in one led to the land game having some issues. Mostly because battleships on the high seas and airships were often very very powerful. So many smaller tanks and the like had issues keeping up.
Plus there were practical board issues that if you've a board great for one theatre its often a bit small for the other, greatly limiting choices unless everything was a walker/hover unit.
They've also had enough time to hook people on the story and style of the setting once again. So in theory whilst they aren't double-dipping on the model front, they are on the lore, story and faction aspects. People with a sea force of Crown are likely to want a land force of Crown to go with it.
I think when we see a lot more previews it will help out. Plus the scale they've gone for lets them have more crazy tanks and vehicles; more so than a 32mm game would have allowed (which Spartan also did back in the day)
*Its important to note that Spartan didn't sell themselves ot WC, but went through bankruptcy and being auctioned off. So instead of getting a working firm they got a bunch of pallets of stuff shipped down to them with stuff on them

Hidden in the unknown depths of the sea, a devastating Enlightened Colossi has been given the command to come to life.
This month, the Enlightened add to their arsenal of mechanical marvels as a viscous, vermicular form has awoken. The Aronnax Colossus Squadrons box offers Enlightened players a terrifyingly effective tool that emerges from the depths to tear their opponent's vessels to shreds.
With the recent release of the Vauban Battlefleet Set, the Alliance are receiving even more French aerial support with the Alliance Levant Support Squadrons.
These are due to be released at the end of June 2024.
DYSTOPIAN WARS
Two new Squadron boxes, the Aronnax Colossus Squadrons and the Alliance Levant Support Squadrons, are coming to Dystopian Wars this June. These boxes are excellent additions to any Enlightened or Alliance fleet.
Aronnax Colossus Squadrons
Huge mechanical constructions lay immobile at the bottom of the sea. The darkness is only occasionally broken by the bioluminescence of strange creatures never seen by man. Uncategorised organisms began to converge, drawn in by the only source of heat for miles around. Crustacea gently crawled across the surface of the metallic things, testing to see if this was an unusual form of whale fall. With no food to be found, the gathering was small.
This box contains:
3x Aronnax Vermiform Colossi
Alliance Levant Support Squadrons
As the squadron of Levant skimmers passed by the port, they forced a spray of seawater into mist with their repulsor generators. A sparkle of rainbow light delighted everyone who saw it. The same sunshine glimmered off gold filigree that was yet to be damaged in combat. They were a glorious sight, inspiring awe in all those who were gathered at the dockside. It was no secret that these support cruisers were passing by while gaining additional supplies before they left France for whichever exotic sea needed protection in the name of the glorious Latin Alliance.
This box contains:
2x Dieppe Levant Cruiser (may also be built as Alma, Lyon, Marseille or Gascony Class)
2x Honneur Levant Destroyer
2x Frelon Tokens
You can pre-order all these exciting new products at your FLGS or online at Wayland Games on the 31st of May 2024.

I'm loving those designs, but for the love of God, I hope they're easy to assemble. By the time I built enough Legion Imperialis to play a good size game, I already actively hated it due to how unnecessarily over-engineered all the models were.

Most of the Dystopian Wars ships are dead easy to put together.

Those Levant airships are great, they'd also fit into the Grim Darkness of the Far Future space lanes.

Stealthy Warhound Titan Princeps

Aside from the turrets being a little oversized for my taste, those would make good space ships. The armored clash looks cool - good choice of scale I think.
