The Big Ambitions Roadmap

The roadmap lives on Hovgaard’s own site as a single PNG, currently dated 16 September 2026. This version marks 1.0 as out, drops the finished 0.11 block and adds a second DLC at the end. What follows is the same five blocks, with the wording kept close to the studio’s.

Hovgaard’s own framing, at the top of the image, is that these are “not promises but a glimpse into what we’re working towards”, that features may be dropped if they turn out not to be feasible, and that any dates are estimates. Read the list below with that attached to it.

The five blocks

One is done. The other four have no date on them. The December 2025 version did give two estimates: 1.0 landed in the month promised, and 0.11 slipped by one.

The order is not arbitrary. The Sky’s the Limit opens JFK Airport, and Shanghai is where the airport flies you — the free update builds the door the DLC walks through, so the DLC cannot land first. The patch tracker covers everything shipping between these blocks.

The September version also revises the plan for the first free update: boats are set to leave from the Manhattan docks rather than Murray Hill, Liberty Island becomes somewhere you land instead of sail around, and the Hamptons gets a Yacht Club.

What the roadmap does not contain

Two things people search for, neither of which is on it:

• Multiplayer or co-op. Nothing across all five blocks mentions it, and Steam lists the game as single-player with no co-op category. The closest the studio has ever come was a 2021 devlog that called post-release co-op a “dream” if wishlists kept growing — five years and a full release ago. There is a community multiplayer mod, and the mods page covers what it is.
• Console versions. The roadmap is silent, the store lists Windows and macOS, and no announcement has ever mentioned a console port.

The absence of either is not a refusal — a Living Roadmap is explicitly not a complete list of everything coming. It does mean that as of the current revision, neither is something Hovgaard has put its name to.

How this page is kept

• Sources: the roadmap image on Hovgaard’s official site, plus the two Steam announcements where the studio restated its post-launch intentions in its own words.
• Scope: what the studio has published. Community speculation, wishlists and “confirmed” claims that trace back to a forum post do not appear here.
• Checked: at least once a fortnight, and whenever the roadmap image changes. A new version means this page is rewritten against it rather than patched.
