Last update was 1 year ago, and today the only announcements are about costume prize boxes and patches regarding prize boxes. Will there be another planned big update or the update concept is done to death and OOO is going ONLY to give out some expensive costume boxes which have no effect on gameplay?
Will there be another big update or just costume limited prize boxes?

...
dude, they have released good updates to the game, and dont expect them out of the ying yang, its not that easy to just release something, they have to make it, test it, etc...

Heck, even the older added missions are only 6 months old.
The gunner update is only 8 months old as well.
So, my counter question to you is:
What do you consider our last major update?

Wouldn't be surprised if the
Wouldn't be surprised if the next update added 6* items, with a total cost of 654 Solar Fire crystals that have a 1% chance of dropping at the end of shadow lairs. Don't worry though, you would be able to buy them for the bargain price of 1400 E per 50! It just costs 18.2k E to heat one item!
I also wouldn't be surprised if they released another reskin update. These actually aren't too bad though, since people these days care more about form than function.
I WOULD be surprised (in a good way) if they:
Removed AT from lockdown permanently (I would totally spend money to quickly make a set to get back into it)
Released missions with a dynamic challenge level (that way you could never get used to it)
Added a bomber update (Mad Bomber set, hello?)
Reworked the game to run more smoothly and lag less
Other creative stuff
Who knows, OOO always surprises. Not always in a good way (brandish buff, BK stuff), but not always in a bad way either (SLs, D&N, etc).

I'd be highly surprised if they just quit development after the cliff hanger at the end of the missions like that... the scarier questions are whether they'll continue updating after the rest of the missions come out and just how much effort is being/has been put into Rise of Knights that could have been put into Spiral Knights.

Remember, don't shoot food.
Nope, SK is dying.
For the 43rd time.

I wouldn't consider the game is dying just yet. We still have an around 1k player base on steam. As I see Fangel post in other topics, we have players constantly joining us. I would consider dying a drastic change within one month of a player base. But right now, it's all pretty much the same, not as much as it used to be, but still.

Id really wish they would
Id really wish they would just remove the region lock in the first place, since they took down the asia version already, i dont see why we would still be blocked off, especially through steam.

There will be some new content, people will finish it up in 30 minutes and then ask what's next.

Are you sure Hexzyle? Clocker never shuts down.
I am still here. Well, I wonder what's inside OOO office. Either they work on Puzzle Pirates (another OOO game) or they forgot about Spiral Knights. I really want to see Deathmatch PvP mode, so I will have more fun.

The inside of OOO's office because technically you asked for it
And I have nothing else to say.

They've been working on Rise of Knights, a mobile spinoff, lately.

Eh
The story I'm believing in right now is that most of their development efforts are going towards Rise of Knights, and due to the large array of color schemes in that game they're boxing up what they come up with in there and putting it in Spiral Knights. Essentially, they're working on Rise of Knights, but still giving us bi-weekly promo boxes with the art assets they're making anyways.
Spiral Knights is in a stable state right now. It's got gameplay that will last players a long while (i.e., it does have infinite replayability with the arcade, but playing the same game for so long will get boring to people), and it has a way to bring in money that doesn't make the game P2W.
I would love to see more things added to Spiral Knights, but it's not going to bring in a lot of money quickly as of the current moment. I think the Rise of Knights game will draw people into the art style who don't know too much about the PC side of things, and might get them invested in our universe. Spiral Knights is a very casual game at the start, and much more hardcore at the end. It will draw in the players who like the mobile game for sure.
So, after Rise of Knights gets released, and has its fair share of bugfixes, I won't be surprised if more effort gets pumped back into this game. Until then, I expect promos, but will continue hoping that we'll get the other things announced before Nick's departure two years ago, such as the arcade redux. We've gotten quite a bit of the rank mission modifications, but hey, there's still more!

Eurydice said that knight
Eurydice said that knight transfer is unavaliable.
I REALLY WANT TO SHOW UP IN RISE OF KNIGHTS!
The last update was not one year ago, but would it matter if they updated? Activity peaked for about 2 weeks then life went on as before after the new missions came out. I don't really think any update is going to bring the old playerbase back.
