The "public" roadmap hasnt been updated for over a year. The game was supposed to be feature complete according to Chris Roberts end of 2019.
News Sites like Eurogamer announced the delay from Q2 to Q3 last year: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/...adron-42-beta-delayed-three-months-to-q3-2020
An update video for Squadron 42 was announced end of april as one of "big" things to come in May 2020.
Its july now and the video is still nowhere to be seen, they cited "editorial" issues as the reason for the delay.
CIG keeps deleting threads in their own internal forum when you even mention Squadron 42 or ask what the status of the game is.
They crossed 300 million funding weeks ago and for the first time ever, they didnt even acknowledge that milestone, no "letter from the chairman" or even a social media post.
So we are now in Q3 of 2020 and no mention of a release date or delay of Squadron 42 at all. Chris Roberts and his wife Sandi disappeared from the public image completely. He was in only one video this year and that was recorded last year. His wife is the VP of Marketing and hasnt been seen in 18 months nor did she communicate the status of the game (she used to be in the weekly videos).
As a long time backer im absolutely disgusted by CIG and their lack of communication.

edit:
- Erin Roberts was recently replaced by Brian Chambers as head of development. It's extremely unusual to replace a project lead with only months to go if everything is on track.
- CIG is still making changes to the renderer, HUD, UI, AI and flight model. Those are all big things to add in at the last minute.
