Chapter 2 will turn out to be the longest running joke ever.
so yea...whenever it comes IF it ever comes at all.

Axalot is working on improving many things of the game. Unfortunately Chapter 2 isn't up to standards yet and remains unreleased, but I stay positive.
But they did manage to improve something in the physics engine which was an update we got.

this is the first time he asked that. And it is a valid question, since it's now 5 years that they announced chapter 2 -2024 . Development takes time, but almost radio silence whilst still not giving community the bare basics such as option for dedicated server hosting, is just sad.

7dtd pz EA 10+ years so this is no big deal lots of games lots of players with no patient or do not know what EA is or they do not read before they buy

Didn't axolotl plan aim to release in 2023? Then again but definitively in 2024?
The devs don't seem to think development takes time, and they're the professionals here

How many updates has 7dtd received in it’s time of development? And how often is it getting updated, even after leaving early access? Every couple of weeks, once a month?
Compare that to Scrap Mechanic.

I agree, read before you buy EA games

You are missing the point entirely. The issue is not the long early access period. It is the exclusive use of a third party communication platform, a complete lack of Steam engagement, downstream only communication, and the lack of overall transparency with the company itself. That is the main difference between Scrap Mechanic and 7d2d: the Fun Pimps keep the the community informed on or involved with development with regular updates, news posts, and forum engagement on Steam. Axolot does none of these things.

Well if you don't like the radio silence from the devs, contact them. Oh I forget, they removed their contact information from there site, to avoid toxic emails.

I think you're confusing cause and effect again

Would you tell a person with a disability to just use the stairs? Twitter is not accessible in certain countries, while many people who have access simply flat out refuse to use the platform for a number of reasons. When a developer neglects to provide news on Steam, the only platform on which their game is marketed and sold, that developer, whether intentional or otherwise, is telling over a quarter of their customer base that they do not matter.

Honestly, we don't know about Ch.2. The recent physics update could be a hint that things are moving along at Axolot, or it could be an attempt at buying them more time to work on Ch.2. My best estimates place Chapter 2 at March at the very earliest, July to September for a realistic but optimistic, and Q1 2026 for the less optimistic.

Shut it, it might come out in 2025

You all got hyped up and all he did was a tiny patch to keep the steam page open. Same exact thing he did last year and the year before. Everyone got hyped and it was all a bunch of silence. Activity jumps on steam every year this time for that reason.

I'll get excited when I see an actual post with a date.
