When Sega of America announced that the supplemental update was coming to US/EU PSU back in April, it was also announced that support for PSU players without Ambition of the Illuminus would be cut off during maintenance on June 21.
That maintenance period would have happened tonight, but Sega of Japan announced on Friday that removal of PSU version 1.0 support from the US/EU servers is now postponed indefinitely. Sega of Japan says that a new date for the maintenance can be expected "soon".
This almost certainly means that the supplemental update will not appear until mid-to-late July at the earliest. Many players were expecting that the update would be added before the July 4th holiday weekend, but I think the chances of this happening now are almost zero.
The maintenance period that was originally scheduled for Friday morning has been moved to early Tuesday morning (roughly 3 1/2 hours from the time of this post). The annual Sonic lobbies will be added in preparation for Sega's "Happy Birthday Sonic" event. Awards will also be handed out to the Xbox 360 winners of the second Great Gurhalian Cup event held at the beginning of the year.
The Sonic lobbies will remain up until maintenance on Friday, July 16. If you're expecting to see the supplemental update before then... don't get your hopes up.
