This new blog post is a sign of the upcoming end.

This is a death knell. Whenever a game says there will be few "big" content updates over a year it means the bulk of the team has been moved on to the next project.

We can expect the same update size as Riven Tides in October. One map, maybe a big arc, a couple guns and gadgets.

Six months to release a single map in the first year of development shows they have no one left.

Six months to rework a skill tree.....

This further proves the roadmap was all the content they had pretty much ready on day one of release and they drip fed it. They didn't sell 12 million copies and "boost the team and hire more devs" for ARC. They took the money and left a skeleton crew.

The only thing still at full force in this game are the cosmetics designers.
