Hello everyone,

It looks like there is going to be further delay on the much-anticipated Gunner Update. We originally estimated that this would be out to you in November, and then we updated our estimate to January (this month). Unfortunately, it is still in the works. We're really sorry about this.

We're going to try something different--although the Gunner Update is indeed still underway, we're not going to give a new release estimate. It's clear that in the past, when we've tried to give estimates of this type, it hasn't made anyone happy; it pins the Spiral Knights devs to a release date that they might or might not be able to make, and it makes players feel worried and jerked around when the schedule slips.

Our new release date for the Gunner Update is therefore: "When It's Ready." We remain excited to get this into your hands.

In addition to work proceeding on the Gunner update, our art and level design folks are hard at work on the Tortodrone and accompanying levels, and have supplied a preliminary peek for you here.

Thanks for your patience and understanding, knights.
