Looking ahead: our roadmap

[p]Since the release of Equinox: Homecoming, we’ve been gathering player feedback and deploying regular patches. As we approach one month since launch, the dust is beginning to settle… and we’re happy to reveal what’s coming for the rest of the year with our first roadmap![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Our roadmap focuses on two types of planned updates: patches and content updates. [/p]

• [p]Patches are smaller updates full of improvements like bug fixes, quality of life implementations, and more. Whenever possible we try to include new content in these updates in the form of new races or ride islands. These types of patches will be similar in size and scope to our latest update Patch #4.[/p]
• [p]Content Updates focus on adding significant new game content like additional story chapters, weekly quests, races, ride island locations, and new or unique features. [/p]

[p]All of our updates include bug fixes, polish, and improvements like optimization and animation refinements. The entire team is always working on improving the game’s experience. This is a crucial and evergreen part of the game’s development![/p][h3]
A note on cutscenes and progression[/h3][p]We’d like to address cinematic cut scenes. Upcoming story drops will include new quest and game content, but we will not have new cinematics. We have planned our story content around cinematics, but at this stage of development please understand new chapter cutscenes will be represented by placeholders.
[/p][p]Whenever we drop new chapters, we plan to reset character quest progression. This means when you log back in you’ll start the game’s story anew. This is to help us ensure the experience is working as intended and to get feedback on the entire current play experience.[/p][h3]
Patch #4 - New Race & Bug Fixes[/h3][p][/p][p]Last week we released our fourth patch. It included a whole slew of improvements, bug fixes, as well as a new race. We have several smaller patches planned for late summer and they’ll be similar to this patch in terms of content and breadth![/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][h3]First Content Update[/h3][p][/p][p]Our first content update is planned to come out early in the summer! We’ve been working hard on the next installation of the main storyline as well as a bunch of new content in the form of weeklies, races, and even a new ride island to getaway to. 
[/p][p]This first content update will also include two new systems: an upgrade system at the Ferrier to improve your gear and new daily gift quests that help increase faction reputation.
[/p][p][/p][h3]Summer Patches[/h3][p][/p][p]We also have a couple of patches planned throughout the summer! These updates will focus on bug fixes and other improvements, but they’ll also include some new content. Take a peak at our work in progress emote system in action below… 👀[/p][p][/p][h3]Second Content Update[/h3][p]Our next Content Update is scheduled to launch in Autumn. This will include the release of our Ch. 3’s quest content, a new Ride Island and Weekly Quests, plus the introduction of User Generated Races![/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]See you at IGN Live and Women-Led Games this weekend![/h3][p]This weekend we have a trailer debuting at IGN Live full of new game footage.
