Maybe this is just me but I reckon the update was scheduled to be last week but got delayed due to bugs.
oh lol. I looked up the Dicored looking for hints heheheh No regrets. OT i think that Thursday Aussie time ( wensday ) will be the update. 2 days before Xmas
Go back to speculation: Since @NinetyNine! is in dev team, we can expect a bolide "corse-like" version for the remaster. (I really hope so) For those don't know about bolide corse, there is a link to it: https://www.beamng.com/resources/civetta-bolide-corse.2903/
I think Synsol's teaser more or less confirmed that, as we know we're getting a widebody turbo config of some description.
The definition of the word update includes a definition for the present participle. (Present participle: updating) In this case, present refers to the current timeline, as in today. The word Present is also a homonym, as in a word with a plethora of meanings, depending on the use case. The word Present, for example, can also mean a gift; a Christmas present, perhaps- the developers promised us a Christmas present this year, in the form of an update, and since present means not only a gift but also a reference to the current point in time, we can glean that they were attempting to tell us that the Present, the update, would drop in the present, today. Need more proof? The sentence December 20, of 2021 has the same number of letters as Beamng Updates Today- and how many letters is that? twenty. as in, the twentieth of December, todays date. I rest my case
I'm honestly skeptical about another hotfix myself. There's less than a week left before the holidays, and I'm sure the content update is going to have issues that need to be fixed of its own. I honestly see the content update being merged with the hotfix and coming in the early half of this week, and a hotfix for the content update coming later in the week.
