This was posted on the official forums a few days ago, but I must have missed it then.
Sorry everybody - as the title of this thread states the overworld is going on hold for a bit. My guess is till the middle of next week. We have just been running into multiple issues with the new overworld that we thought we had hammered out.
Trying to get it pushed out today could leave people with a pretty bad impression of the world and well that’s the last thing we want to do.
Again, I’m really sorry. I know everybody has been waiting patiently and well … this just sucks.
Just below that post is also a compilation of current things that devs have said about what’s to come in the future, so it’s an interesting read.
Mythos Conclave had their first round table discussion in IRC today, which was mainly to do with the overworld. While it was mostly fans talking, it’s an interesting read and Mythos Community Manager, Taylor Balbi, was present to add some of his input which can be seen below.

<@TaylorFSS`home> Switching is not allowed everywhere
<@TaylorFSS`home> Forests are helpful hehe
<@TaylorFSS`home> Stack splitting is definitely something we need
<@TaylorFSS`home> ya, a smooth respawn rate would be nice to have
I want roving Giant bosses on the overworld that are random.
<@TaylorFSS`home> in due time Firedog, currently the overworld isn’t big enough to have giants roaming around
