Vector3 Studio released a new video which gave a preview on the future content arriving soon to Sunkenland. The test version for the new content have already been published and once that's done, it's going to be uploaded to the public test build. Once everything has been decided to be good, it's then going to be published to the main build. The new content is expected to be released within January 2024.
One of the new features to be introduced are the dedicated servers that's going to be added. All players need to do what this feature goes live is to download the free tool and then set up their very own dedicated server. Players can also look forward to the new gun assembly system where players can recycle broken guns to obtain different components that include barrels, magazines, and stocks. These can then be used to assemble new firearms. The studio did say that while this upcoming feature is indeed exciting, it's going to be experimental for now but is expected to evolve in the future.
It goes without saying that releasing alongside this new content is an update which improves the balance of the game. In a post, the studio revealed that they've been working on rebalancing the overall progression of the game to make it smoother.
