It's always a blast to see pplz still believing Xenorav into becoming someone more communicative. Don't get me wrong. There will be an update, but no one knows when or if it will be this year. Just don't believe his words. Take the update when it drops and move on to something else, until next time.
Another game I liked got abandoned lately. Just too bad, but I don't really care in the end. I saw so many soooo many games get abandoned since 2017, that it doesn't hurt anymore. PPLZ should stop being so invested. Take things as they come and move on. Peace out.
