Almost all of the content promised for Winter 2024 has now been integrated into Starship Troopers. Only the promised Nanite network projector is still missing.

Additionally, the long-term impact of the development on the number of players remains to be seen. For there to be significant changes here, the developers will probably have to bring more changes and content into the game.
