Chapter 2 is still realistic - here`s why:

[Pinnochio]

Chapter 2 is an survival-mode update which was announced to drop in 2023. After failing to drop the update in time, Axolot claims to release the update in 2024. Yet, there is no given specific release date. The developers' communication with the community is irregular and sparse, but the last devblogs give a good insight into the upcoming update.

The last time the developers posted on Twitter (X) was on May 21st, 2024, claiming that they fixed the physics and lag. You can see it here [x.com]

If you take a close look on steam db [steamdb.info], you might notice that updates are happening all the time. Also, they just updated the library-assetes in Changelist #24981165. This is an important update-indicator.

Some people might notice some interesting things in the pictures. So here are the links to the updated library assets:

https://shared.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/387990/hero_capsule.jpg?t=1667321608

In conclusion, since they are still working on the game (steam db, X), it seems realistic that the update gonna drop this year, which means, within the next four month. I expect a new trailer for the update to appear soon since the library assets were last updated.

i doubt it - nothing will bring me back to any product related to axolot

I found out that every game on steam has this asset update probably it's some steam update

Their only post this year was "we think we may be on to something with fixing lag and bad physics" (paraphrasing). The one before that said the update (promised 2023) was not quiet done yet......not quite done yet??? 9 months later it's still not done.

Also, what is new with the pictures? We've had those bots in the game. They look like pictures they've already had.

Iam on board Lets change the fate of Scrap Mechanic

Everyone needs to chill. Axelot MUST finish scrap mechanic at this point. everyone knows about crew commander and none of us will touch it if they abandon scrap mechanic. if they want that to succeed they have to at least wrap scrap up with something.

Either Axolotl themselves finish the update. Or they give the game to the most talented mod creators on the workshop to make them finish the game.

Honestly crashlanders is way more impressive than regular survival!

On Steam DB, they changed the copyright text to "Changed Legal Lines – © 2025 Axolot Games AB. All rights reserved.", I really hope these bastards aren't trying to push the 2025 release.

They probably will. They're likely using the "performance upgrade" as an excuse to postpone the release even further.
And before people start screaming "but the Xitter post shown the performance!", nah, they more than likely just made a tiny creative world with a few trees in the camera shot and increased the frame rate during edit.

I wish man but they haven't communicated with us at all and unless they start in the next few weeks I dont think there will be an update this year :(

According to the Database, They even changed SM's legal lines to "© 2025 Axolot Games AB. All rights reserved."

It's a few blocks down, so it's easy to get to that point when entering that database, in SM's Update History.
