Version 0.16.0.0 confirms the full game release remains pending, likely until 2025. However, several anticipated features are expected:
Firstly, a long-awaited transition to the Unity 2022 engine. While planned for 2024, implementation may have been delayed.
Secondly, a significant overhaul of the weapon recoil system, potentially impacting gameplay significantly.
New weapons, such as the RPG-26, are also anticipated. The Customs map is slated for a rework, promising notable changes. Bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements are confirmed, although the engine upgrade might introduce new challenges. The overall impact remains to be seen.
