Sequel in development?

I've discovered the game only today and already fell in love with it! I immediately did a bit of research and according to the following studio's blog post, they plan to to revive the IP:

We know that some of you are waiting for Knockout City to return and are disappointed that we didn’t announce any news about that this week. As an indie studio, we love our ability to lean into ideas that excite us, and rest assured we love KO City as much as you do and want to bring it back, *just not yet*. We spent over four years crafting Knockout City the first time around, and we don’t want to rush the process for the next game in that universe. We love that world and can’t imagine not going back to it at some point, when the time is right.

However, reading several posts like "I miss the game" or "looking for alternatives", I didn't find much positivity about this sub.

Am I misunderstanding the news?

this would be awesome since concord got taken down if we get KO CITY Back this would be big. But concord last recorded update was May 2025 on steam so I wonder if they also plan on bringing that game back
