The Game was developed over the past 4 years and launched just in October 2019 the first big update is about to come February 28th so just a few days and there are going to be a ton of new features.
There are going to be a few other new events. The Coffee was just launched, next new resource will be Oil probably, but not for a while. Then at some point players will work together to build a Railway to connect the Wild West and Yukon. And then at some point in the future they will launch new maps.
