Only OVK knows (like always). Since they didn’t released new (community) skins with the last update and the fact that they adding more and more weapon colours with new updates I’m a little bit in doubt. However, maybe with the update 200 we´ll see some new skins.

One could assume they didnt add skins because they were busy 're-writing' the skin 'reward' system, so that would be fine.
But since they do updates (again), I'd assume they'll continue to add community skins, since that is not too much effort in comparision to create a new map.

Either way, as I understand the procedure, they'll only add the skins with the most likes.
So that is a 'barrier'/"checkpoint" to break/pass first.
But wether or not they (still) add skins, idk, but certainly hope so.

it's already long time since the last community safe released.
lets hope if they will release new community safe, the chosen skins will please us.

Elizabeth mentioned they will keep making community safes. I suppose the fall event should feature one.

lets hope the next update adds a new collection or two.

Don't get your hopes up. First, the workshop is weakened, there are no new authors, there is no attraction and motivation. Developers are busy with other things and in my opinion they are not interested in the workshop. After the announcement of 200 updates (Despite their hot words: More PAYDAY 2 in 2021) doubts have not gone away. They are not going to redo the basics of the workshop and the content itself will not be filled itself so even if one author made 16 skins in 3 months, it looked stupid and very difficult. They will not be able to provide tools, and therefore there will be no updates for the workshop itself.
In other words, they are great that they support their product for many years for the players but not for the workshop. As far as i understand the workshop is still considered in BETA but we all understand that this is a very extensible concept that is easy to bury.

Well I think Ewald got it right. Looking at the Update 200 it seems like OVK is now focussing more and more on those Weapon Color Packs instead of new (Community) weapon skins. I guess they make enough money out of those packs and it is probably easier in the making than implementing/making skins. So no Phoenix move for the workshop this time. Rest in Ashes. Sad, but well it was fun.

most colors are pretty ugly. Nothing can beat a well done skin like you do.

In the AMA they said no skins were planned in 2020. But its possible in 2021.

Thank you :). I think probably quite many creators on this workshop can and have made better skins like these plain paint jobs (even though this time they added some patterns too; reminds me of the camos in CoD MW).
But yeah "new skins possible in 2021" will not revive this workshop. It´s like the same situation all over again we had when they stop the support for pd2. Not a single word what would happen to the workshop. At least now we have some vague prediction what might come next year.
