This is the only info I found: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/y0p2r/173_patch_spoiler/

Not sure how accurate it is.

It does'y mean directly after gamescom you just know to not expect it pre gamescom.

I heard the same as UnusualFriendly, sometime after the 19th. Rumor has it you now start where ever you want on the map with a helicopter and an AS50 and the NW Airfeild is made of pudding. There will also be a mandatory no-clothes option for the female characters, and when you kill cows they will explode into active bear traps that rain down over the map. And there's dogs.
