7 Days to Die 2024-25 Roadmap Sparks Discussion in the Community
7 Days to Die is a title that, despite its time in the oven, has made changes frequently, even if they have been minor. Many of these changes have often led to confusion and heated debates among players in the community.
For example, a new model added to one of the game’s experimental builds was considered a brand-new enemy before the developer had to dispel the confusion. This was only one of the many topics that led to a fierce debate between several members of the game’s subreddit.
Now, once again, it seems like after someone posed a natural question about the game’s development and update roadmap, veteran players have something to add to the conversation:

While 7 Days to Die is only the second game from The Fun Pimps, and the developers do not have a reputation for seemingly self-sabotaging their games with updates like Funcom, nothing seems concrete for the game right now.
But, something to be considered is that the game has survived for over ten years, meaning that the developer must do something right to survive cutthroat competition in the industry.
