The Summer Update for 2024 will be a small interim update similar to last year's Spring Update to tide things over until this year's Annual Update arrives later this year. This Devblog will touch on the development roadmap again and run through the significant changes coming in this update. Update 58 is a minor release primarily focused on improvements and fixes instead of new content.
Roadmap
Update 58 will be mostly a maintenance update, as the next major changes coming to Foxhole will arrive later this year with Update 59. While Update 59 will be an annual update with new gameplay and content, it will be significantly smaller in scope than annual updates from prior years like Inferno or Naval Warfare.
Beyond this year, the team is already working on a new phase of development that will take Foxhole to new and exciting places in 2025 and beyond.
Update 58 Preview
Below is a quick preview of what's coming in Update 58. There is no new content in this update as the focus is instead on tuning and low key improvements. For a full detailed rundown on all the changes in Update 58, please read through the release notes which will be published alongside the Dev Branch soon.
