In the meantime, there will be fixes, balance changes and a multitude of new extra levels. At some point around this time, a challenge mode, featuring the six-spotted fishing spider ( Dolomedes triton), will be added to the fire ant levels. Now that the fire ant update is out, as of July 27th 2022, the next big update will be large additions and changes to freeplay, to bring it much closer to its final release form. Smaller patches without major new features are likely to come unannounced, but larger patches will likely get a few week's notice. Even the really big developers have trouble pinning down when an update will be done. To be honest this stems from a history of being terrible at meeting predictions we've made for ourselves! We're not alone in this.

We have a policy of not announcing release dates before we're sure we can meet the date.
