Where/when did he say that? my understanding is that Hopes doesn't not give release date to avoid failing to meet them. So while he does tell us that "update should be coming very very soon", he usually just post that and later directly when the update is released.
Besides, his last patreon post essentially said that he was playing with the contracts. Meaning he had to finish that and later have the testers see if it works. So I would not expect the update any time sooner than at least another week, 2 weeks more likely.
