Quick answer

The official late-2026 roadmap places Update 7.1 in September, Update 7.2 in October, and Major Update 8.0 in December. It gives months rather than exact release days. Every future item remains Planned until an official release source confirms it is live.

Field note

September — Update 7.1

The roadmap announces a new Warbond and two new rewards for September. It does not name the Warbond, provide a release day, or fully identify both rewards in the roadmap graphic. Eagle Gas Strike is separately confirmed by the official campaign video; other details remain unannounced.

Field note

October — Update 7.2

The October group includes Liberty Day, another Warbond, new missions, a new biome, a new enemy, a Galactic War event, and a new reward. Final names, mechanics, and release day are not published in the roadmap. Separate detail pages should wait for complete official reveals.

Field note

December — Major Update 8.0

The roadmap places the next major update in December and marks its content to be revealed. This page does not infer an enemy front, faction, mission count, Warbond, or biome from logos, rumors, or secondary commentary.

Field note

Released, planned, no exact date, and unconfirmed

Roadmap status is not release status.

  • Released: available in the live game and supported by a release source.
  • Planned: shown by an official roadmap or announcement but not yet live.
  • No exact date: a month or broad window is known, but not a day.
  • Unconfirmed: a leak, datamine, creator prediction, or player interpretation not officially announced.
Field note

What should receive a page now?

Publish hubs for the roadmap, current build, current campaign, and complete official design briefs. Wait on unnamed weapons, Warbonds, enemies, missions, biomes, or factions. A guessed title can create a wrong URL and a thin indexable page.

Field note

How this page will be updated

Roadmap history stays visible when plans change rather than being silently rewritten.

  • Add official names when revealed.
  • Add an exact date only after an official announcement.
  • Change Planned to Released only after shipment.
  • Link the release notes and move entity detail to the correct page.
  • Record schedule changes against the earlier roadmap expectation.

Official-source access note

The official X post and its high-level roadmap were confirmed, but the research environment could not reliably fetch the original graphic at full text resolution. Month groupings and labels were cross-checked against independent transcriptions of the official graphic and are presented as a transcription, not as separate announcements.
