Madden 13 release date

Has anyone heard when Madden 13 is going to be released?  I know there is a lot of uncertainty as to when the game may be released because last year the video game came out a few weeks later than expected.  So it could happen again this year and the Madden 13 release date may not even be in August this year.  I guess we all just have to wait and see when Madden 13 will actually be coming out. Hopefully they will be letting us know in the next couple of months.
