Announced as part of a roadmap for 2023, we're told that at least three big updates are planned, and that they will bring a variety of new features plus new playable characters and a new story.

While the character and story additions haven't been elaborated on too far as of yet, the roadmap alludes to that revolving around Tails, Knuckles, and Amy, and that this is being tapped for the third update of the year.
