They stated 2-3 weeks after the big patch, this was putting the release of the first DLC to be around the 7th of May, but i read that due to unforseen problems they have pushed it back another week to iron out some bugs and glitches, so my guess is around the 15th of May you will see it at the latest.
I'm patiently waiting to see what they drop for the first DLC. I'm still enjoying current content so no need to rush DLCs just for the sake of getting them out on the market.

Keep in mind it has only been ONE MONTH since the game's release. Most game's have us waiting a few months before their first DLC drops!
I swear I've read it multiple times on the forums, but I could be wrong. It was supposed to coincide with the patch.
Oh and for the several other comments here about "it's only been a month", that's just not the way content works anymore. They already had the first DLC done before ever shipping this game. Withholding content prior to a game's release and charging for it later is common practice nowadays by developers/publishers.
I'm assuming they haven't released the DLC because of the uproar it could cause, considering this game's current state.
I avoided the season pass because for some reason I can't even put a finger on this game reminds me Hellgate:London. They offered a lifetime subscription for a one time price. A little over a year later the game folded and the US servers shut down. I hear it made a come back a couple of years ago but I've since jumped ship from PC to Xbox. Anyway, people got really hyped about Hellgate and the game dumped after a short period of time. I figure Defiance is either going to be a moderate success in the mmo realm (mostly because of consoles) or it's going to burn up spectacularly like Hellgate. And I'm not willing to bet the farm just yet.
