Back when CH had a dedicated dev team that only worked on CH? Yep, those were the good ole days.
Times change though, like it or not. It's unfortunate to see things changing the way they currently are, but there's still hope that things will change yet again.
VR has been extremely focused on initially creating WH:O for over a year now, possibly longer, which took a lot of their focus away from CH. However, WH:O is moving alone well, the closed beta is just starting, which means that the game may launch by the end of the year.
When WH:O launches, one of a few things may happen:
1. Without the pressure to get WH:O developed and into production, VR may be able to fulfill their original intent of developing content for both games.
2. WH:O may break the mold of 90% of the other Warhammer games and take off, becoming really popular and having super solid gameplay. If that happens, VR may decide to spend the majority of their time developing content for WH:O, only doing enough to keep CH running.
3. WH:O may not do so well, possibly due to complicated and/or uninteresting mechanics, or too much lore-focus (turning away a lot of extra players). There is nothing that even hints at that outcome at the moment. However, if that happens, VR may decide to return to CH and make it their primary development project.
I personally think that #1 is the most likely scenario - the developers have always stated that they will continue to develop content for both games. This past year or so has looked really bad, yes, but there are several possible reasons for that - COVID and WH:O development being first and foremost. And again, players don't really know any solid details about anything - just guesses based through the filter of being a player.
