As far as we know for sure, the game's been abandoned.

There were rumors and teases for a villain pack (likely to include Cinder, Emerald, Mercury, and Neo) and that the crew is back in their studio working on new content, but nothing's come of it since.

Plus, what sense would it make if Cinder is the narrator? Especially if Cinder is playable? Who would be the playable villain team, then? Adam and Roman are known terrorists and couldn't just sneak into Beacon, and Roman is in jail at the time Grimm Eclipse takes place.

What i mean by cinder being the narrorator is that it would be a seperate set of missions for the villains like defending the nodes to take them over and instead of grim they have to fight the atlas robots or something...but like i said these are just sudggestions i came up with and doubt they'll ever become part of the game..

My argument is why would Cinder be the narrator if Cinder is playable?

Well she wouldnt be playable...she's a maiden and i think using that OP of a character would just take away from the story because if they nerf her it takes way alot of what makes her who she is...so shed play the roll of the narrorator while team MERN as i'll call them will be on the mission for her...plus in the show she only ever gets hands on when needed so why would she do it in game?...

Roman's in jail. This game takes place between Vol2 and Vol3.
Plus, the villains are still posing as students. They'd logically make as much sense being in the game as anyone else. Cinder using her maiden powers in front of the teachers would give her away.

the villain story as i said would differ from the original story...perhaps taking place before the events of vol 3 aswell...but as we see in the show cinder does use disguises and neo can hide people's appearence so that could be in play aswell as cinder being able to give orders from the dorm room...she would have no need to use her powers if she wasn't on the missions...the game could focus on them talking with the white fang about the plan or trying to recruit merlot while the heroes are fighting him...but this is my opinion

New stuff was announced and possibly more stuff next month, so we might see more playable characters.

Now, don't hype things up too much. You might be disappointed.

Anything is possible, though. They might be saving the best for last.

I thought it'd be cool if she fought with punches and kicks. Her ranged attack is a camera that stuns Grimm but does no damage. Then her ultimate summons a random teammate's weapon and she temporarily uses that. If you're playing singleplayer it's completely random.
