MULTIPLAYER / TWO PLANS
Do not merge the two multiplayer projects
Both are future-facing, but they refer to different products and operating models. Neither makes the current Heavy Turret Simulator build multiplayer today.
Standalone cooperative title
ANNOUNCED · DISTINCT PRODUCTThe developers also describe a different project where several players serve together aboard one platform and operate new vehicles or machines.
A tentative window discussed for the separate project must not be reused as a release date for Heavy Turret Simulator multiplayer. Final dates and scope remain subject to official updates.
ROADMAP / SOURCE CONTEXT
Roadmap presence is not shipped proof
The current roadmap also names Additional Content, Expansion and Multiplayer as future categories. The image is useful context, but the live status matrix above remains the answer.
