Looks like SCoG is definitely not being done by Pacific Novels. I do agree with Fudge's statement that an official translation of the novel will be coming soon, there's no doubt there. I don't know if I'm as confident as him that it will be coming before the end of 2019, but we'll see.
I'm not terribly surprised by any of this, the entire situation had some dubious claims around it to start off with. It made no sense that Pacific Novels would be given a trial period like the one they described; never heard of a publisher allowing such an informal agreement, especially Breathe. For any of you readers who are still slightly confused, I'm basically saying that there's a 0% chance Pacific ever had the rights to this novel in any way whatsoever, formal or informal. As I said above, an official translation is definitely on the way seeing as the novel was doing so well in the English market for time it was up.
I've been following this whole thing for awhile so if any new information comes up I'll post it in this thread. I felt that this news was big enough to warrant its own thread, seeing as a lot of readers were apparently expecting the novel to be back up soon.
