This week’s update brings a clearer look at where both Holosim and SAGE C4 are heading. The team continues to rework combat responsiveness in Holosim while also teasing upcoming marketplace and drone systems. The biggest news by far, however, is that work is being performed on introducing regional governance for SAGE C4. Beyond that, the first five players for the inaugural Embercoil campaign have now officially been selected.

This week’s update is led by the long-awaited Holosim Chapter 2 rewards announcement, which quickly became a discussion point after the community flagged discrepancies in ship valuations. Alongside that, we got a solid look at ongoing UE5 progress, movement in the Embercoil campaign selection, and a rather unusual outcome in DAO governance, with PIP-31 passing on paper but ultimately being withdrawn.

Last week, we got our first glimpse of Ship Configurations in the upcoming SAGE C4. Meanwhile, in Holosim, the Superphoenix event went live, giving players their first chance over the past few days to take on the ECOS Titan ship. On the governance side, PIP-31 opened to fund Star Seekers 2 and will remain open for voting for two weeks. Lastly, applications are now open for players looking to take a seat at the table in the first official Embercoil RPG campaign.

Last week was relatively light on news, but Holosim Chapter 2 continues to move full steam ahead, with near-daily patches rolling out from the team. Alongside that, two PIPs are currently open for you to vote on! Lastly, on a more somber note, the team lost some notable individuals due to recent cost-saving measures.

This week is all about steady progress rather than big headlines. Holosim Chapter 2 still hasn’t launched, but it’s clearly getting close, with core systems like the new Combat UI and zProfile integration falling into place. Meanwhile, UE5 development continues to expand the Galia experience, z.ink ticks off a key milestone, and DAO voting is heading toward its conclusion.
