Here is information for those who are just now joining the wildstar community or don't know how things have been done in the past with regards to wildstar content releases.
 
06/03/2014 : 0 Days     : Wildstar Releases
07/01/2014 : 28 Days   : Drop 1 - "Strain Ultra-drop"
07/31/2014 : 30 Days   : Drop 2 - "Sabotage"
11/11/2014 : 103 Days : Drop 3 - "Mystery of Genesis Prime"
02/03/2015 : 84 Days   : Drop 4 - "Protogames Initiative"
05/05/2015 : 91 Days   : Drop 5 - "Invasion: Nexus"
09/29/2015 : 147 Days : Drop 6 - "Wildstar: Reloaded"
 
As you can see the release dates for drops are trending towards longer periods
 
originally when wildstar released they said they would be releasing drops each month. they revised that publically after drop 2 to a quarterly release. since then there has been no mention of official drop schedules (they come out when they are ready).
 
the release time for Drop 7 will be about as long a wait as it was for Drop 6 due to Drop 6 being a fairly large drop (not in content but in restructuring and adding new systems).
 
with that in mind you can expect Drop 7 to occur around™ 147 days from Drop 6
 
Drop 7 Estimate: 02/23/2016
 
 
 
now if there is any incorrect information lmk because this shit was really hard to find like most wildstar information.

The thing here is that the F2P transition, which included a ton of changes to the game itself in almost every area, China, Holiday Events and a few other things have botched things up for 2015 as a whole. It's really hard to go "this is the norm" when the only outlier the time between Drop 5 and Drop 6 (F2P Reloaded).
 
One could argue that Drop 5 was so light because of the other workload that was already underway in those early stages as well.
 
So, let's see how 2016 rolls, things could go back to the 80-90 range pretty quickly here now that the huge, massive, undertakings that is releasing in a whole new country and the F2P transition are complete or near to it.
