We were sitting on the edge of our seats. Literally. Refreshing. Waiting. Hoping.
March 31st was supposed to be the big day. Midjourney Version 7. A new level of image generation magic.
But here we are: April 1st. No official confirmation. No release. No "ta-da!" from the Midjourney team.
So what’s going on?
Was this the biggest AI April Fools’ joke of the year?
Because if it was well played, Midjourney. You got us.
🤖 What is Midjourney 7 Supposed to Be About?
Based on what’s been floating around, Version 7 was expected to bring:
-
Better prompt understanding
-
More photorealism
-
Faster rendering
-
More control over details like faces, hands, lighting, etc.
Basically, everything we want from our AI bestie with a paintbrush.
The hype was real-especially for us at Frozen Light. We use Midjourney every week for our Weekly Freeze videos, so we were READY.
💥 Meanwhile... ChatGPT Took a Swing
Last week, ChatGPT dropped a surprise image generation update that made a lot of people say:
"Wait... do I even need Midjourney anymore?"
Yep. That's good.
People started comparing outputs, sharing side-by-sides, and some even said they were canceling their Midjourney subscriptions. 😬
Now, we’re not saying that’s the reason Midjourney 7 didn’t launch. But the timing? Suspiciously spicy.
We started seeing vague posts, some half-leaked updates, and... a whole lot of nothing.
So we let our imaginations run wild. Because frankly-we were bored.
🤷♀️ What Does It Mean for You?
If you're a creator, designer, or AI-curious person, this whole moment reminds us of something important:
-
Don’t wait around for tools to save your creativity.
-
Use what you’ve got. Test everything.
-
And always, always have a backup plan for when the magic doesn’t show up.
❄️ The Frozen Light Perspective
We were counting the minutes, planning our next Freeze, and dreaming of what Midjourney 7 would do.
Instead? We got a whole lot of "maybe," "not yet," and "soon."
All we could find online was half-information. No confirmation. No denial. Just vibes.
And that left us asking:
Was it postponed because of ChatGPT's glow-up? Was it not ready? Was it never meant to be March 31?
We don’t know. So we did what any mildly obsessed AI creative team would do:
-
Imagined what it could be
-
Made jokes about it in Slack
-
And got back to work using what we already have
Here’s the thing: Imagination doesn’t need a version number.
So whether Midjourney 7 lands tomorrow or next month-we’ll be ready. We’ll test it. And we’ll probably make memes about it.
But until then... the wait continues.
