Dev note: the road to October

Shared by Embark in Live Update 1.33.0.

Embark has called October its biggest update yet, with a Content Update of that scale planned roughly every six months after it. Most of the team is now focused on what ships then: building the new map, bringing ARC to life, planning new routes of progression, writing quests, testing weapons, and recording new music. None of that releases before October. In the shorter term, new content comes through Projects and Events.

Separating routine Live Updates from these larger Content Updates is what keeps both moving: a dedicated live-service team can react faster to bugs and balance while the bigger build continues. Embark acknowledges this is a quieter stretch for the game, and says there is more coming through the Summer and in the run-up to Frozen Trail.
