The Helion Dispatches newsletter will also resume in the summer

“I know you’ve all been waiting for more info on the sequel, and while I can’t give you that today, I can promise that by the end of this year you will be very familiar with what the sequel plans to offer,” Jump Over The Age wrote on theirSubstack newsletterlast night.

“There’s around a year left of development, and already the sequel is looking bigger and more varied than the original. I’m really proud of what we’ve been able to do, and I ask you to be patient for a little while longer, as we prepare for our big reveal, and a few small teases between now and then too…”

Elsewhere in the newsletter, there was also an update on theHelion Dispatches text logs, which have been running as free monthly newsletters over the last six months as little extra story nuggets filling in some of the backstory betweenCitizen Sleeper1 and 2. I’ve had a great time reading them since they started up (you cancatch up hereif you missed them), but alas, they’ll be going on hiatus for the next little while, resuming again in the summer.

“Cyrene is going dark for a while, as the Pilgrim Seed tries to navigate Conway-controlled space, but she’ll be back for the second half of the season sometime this summer,” Jump Over The Age said. “As Cyrene would say: to a free Helion. Now and forever.”

In its place, Jump Over The Age said they hope to release a monthly development update on everything Citizen Sleeper more generally, so fingers crossed we’ll get some extra nuggets of Starward Vector info as the months go on.
