"Nothing has been officially announced but I think that is highly likely. "

There has been nothing announced that I can find. I think the series is over. I waited to buy "Bloody First" for months as I knew the first versions would be full of bugs. Even after I bought it late there were bugs. The game did not play online very well. It crashed like all the other Code Combat games when playing online. There were very few players in the online portal looking for opponents for an online game when I started. Eventually I seldom saw any players in the online portal.

I bet the game did not sell very well. It took years to make and must have cost a lot of money to produce.
I liked "The Bloody First." It was released in 2019.

I remember Close Combat 2. It was produced by Microsoft. It worked well, no bugs that I recall. Seems like Microsoft had enough money and expertise to make a game that ran smoothly. Since then Close Combat games have been produced by much smaller companies, with less quality control.

Matrix/Slitherine will announce future plans when they're ready to do so. There's nothing I can add to my previous statement at this time.

Updates to The Bloody First are still under development.

You are misrepresenting his words and invented things. Even telling things as they were not.

He was saying how probably the CC series would be continued. Just it.

It's now been 2 years since I first posted that the CC series looks dead. Steve McClaire announced "Matrix/Slitherine will announce future plans when they're ready to do so."

So I'm now even more sure that the Code Combat series of games is done, and there will be no more. I've yet to find any games similar to it that have the same kind of accuracy in a real time games with human opponents. Mods are left, but without the kind of testing done for a commercial game release, mods are full of glitches and weird things. Plus, they crash more often.
