Well, that's not really possible in this case, because we want to form parts of the setting around the background pitches we get. We plan to weave a lot of the characters' backstories together with the metaplot, and that's not something you can do before you get some characters to weave.

We're taking an extra couple weeks to make sure we're focused and that we get it right. We thought that was a prudent choice, even if we thought there was a good possibility we'd be opening the game earlier than the projected date.
