Is Blender still being updated?
What the evidence tells us
Blender shows ongoing developer communication.
Developer communication is recent or within this game’s usual posting rhythm.
The latest developer post we hold for Blender is from 9 days ago. We have not recorded a substantial update in six months, though our record contains developer posts on 14 occasions. Across their history this team posts roughly every 28 days. We compare the current posting gap with that rhythm; this is not a patch schedule.
This status measures developer communication. Shipped updates are recorded separately below; press coverage does not count toward either.
