First we wanted to apologize on recent radio silence regarding the progress of the latest update. Your passion for more updates is not wasted on us.
As you have probably guessed there has been an delay to this major update, RETRIBUTION, which we are making the official statement now, we however do not have a solid date for you, we are sorry for the inconvenience this causes but we wanted to get into some reasons why;
The sheer scale of the content has been challenging which may require us to pivot and break up the update into more manageable chunks/patches instead, Content has always been fun to develop for you and this time there is a lot of it... however! We also wanted to spend some time on reviewing retention and looking for ways to entertain players for longer (variety is the spice for life after all) so we can get a update cycle lasting months rather than weeks (Core loop mechanics, fixing issues and balance).
We love a new update and seeing our players dive in again but its time to look at more longevity! We feel this combined with hot content will help new players "breach" in also.
We look forward to explaining further in the future but we feel another public playtest (or even a few) is best before deploying our new update so we can garner your feedback but unfortunately no date for that either until internally we are happy with the progress.
Anyway we hope this makes sense and we appreciate you all for playing (we can't believe its been 2 years since the Alpha) but here is some cool screenshots of one of many new locations coming soon....REBEL BASE (pesky raider home turf).
We thank everyone for their patience and look forward to fighting you among the stars once again
S.I.G.
