Will SH5 one day be a measure of greatness?

Does everyone think that one day SH5 will really shine?
What annoys me is the silence regarding ubisoft's news on patches.
Where they like this with the other silent hunters or is this a sign that they will abandon the game?
Maybe Dan could tell us if he is still working on it.
I do really enjoy SH5 and the mods are fantastic but will it see an expansion that will add alot more different types of panes and ships?
Thanks.
