Any news on when they will drop news on the new game this year?

That will be up to Gary and how the beta testing for CB2022 goes, but I believe he was aiming for starting the First Access period sometime in mid-February and final release in early March. But like I said, that all depends on the how things go with his development of the revised game, testing, and fixing.

Thank you for the information! Looking forward to seeing how the new game is!
