In the last months Salesforce has changed the way to gain the Salesforce Platform Developer II. Besides the multichoice questions you have to complete four superbadges.
Effective June 28, 2017, the Salesforce Certified Platform Developer II (PDII) certification will consist of two parts: a proctored multiple-choice exam and four Trailhead Superbadges which replace the Programming Assignment. Similar to the Programming Assignment, superbadges show that you can apply what you've learned to advanced, real-world business requirements covering features, concepts, and scenarios that are essential for a Platform Developer II to know, including Apex programming, data integration and more.
My questions are:
- Two superbadges are already publiced, when will the other two be released?
- How can I communicate that I have completed the four Superbadge to Salesforce?
- Is there an expiration time to do the four superbadges?
Thanks.

At this stage the best public information on the remaining two super badges is:

Now that Trailhead has merged with Salesforce University I suspect you won't need to do anything to inform Salesforce except maybe link your existing Trailhead account to what you used for Salesforce U.
Consider linking you certification account to your Trailhead account now. See Show Trailhead Badges or Salesforce Certifications on Your Community Profile
Otherwise, wait until the official word on what is required to come out.
