What can we expect from 2.3?

[Anzuku_SRB2]

Development is actually moving pretty well at the moment. While I would personally not pin a date just yet, it does increase the chance of a strong finish for the 2.2.x series (ie. every addon and custom map working as it should without needing a specific version).

The Gitlab appears to be holding up so far, which is good.

Yeah the Gitlab is holding up pretty good, But i do think 2.2.16 will drop the end of this year, or the start of next year!

With how 2.2.16 looks, i think the netcode's getting rewritten, You can see progress on both 2.3 AND 2.2.16 in the GitLab.

I'm confident 2.2.16 is dropping the end of this year.

Y'know what'd be really good? Client prediction. Or an authoritative client-server network model like most MP games use instead of lockstep that SRB2 uses. But that'd require a full rewrite of the netcode... so I don't think we're ever going to get that.

This is not true on netcode being rewritten, it just fixes some minimal bugs of it but is still lockstep for a long time, there is no public 2.3 progress in the gitlab, only a branch that just contains the bare minimum of 2.3 code without spoiler content.
