The developers recently unveiled their Future Roadmap for 2025-2026, outlining major upcoming content releases. The first significant addition will be the “Rogue Protocol” Major Update, scheduled for November 2025. This update will introduce a new permanent game mode called “Endless Shift,” featuring a roguelike structure. It will also implement the highly anticipated Voice Chat and introduce new CONTROL-themed armor sets as part of a cosmetic collaboration.
Following this, a smaller update in December will focus on general game balance improvements. The roadmap also highlights a second major update planned for March 2026, which will include a New Crisis Kit and enhancements to the Crisis Kit synergy system, with additional content expected later in 2026.
