What year are we?
How fast are we advancing in the timeline?
Thank you!

3052, I think?
Originally they wanted to do a 1 to 1 timeline with our own. But they greatly overestimated how quickly they could develop the game. So it's pretty much frozen until they just decide to move it forward.

As stated above the current timeline is 3052 and the devs make a jump in the timeline when they decide on it in order to include new features, weapons, equipment, and mechs.
The 1-1 timeline also failed because IGP as a publisher was severely limiting the content PGI could and could not work on as well as preventing them from growing at any speed as a developer in terms of staff and thus keeping a fairly tight grip on the development pipeline.
Since their split from IGP (and IGPs bankruptcy/going under/do they even still exist?) the flow and variety of development/content has increased dramatically and their staff has also been bolstered as far as I know. So far the game seems to be slowly getting better, so we can only hope it will continue to improve and that the Steam release will replenish the community/playerbase that has been slowly shrinking as Bittervets have continued to leave since the game is no longer what they are used to or are simply burned out that its taken so long to get to where it is now, which to be fair, is mostly IGPs fault...

I don't think they ever updated that... Pretty sure Russ even said the timeline was bumped up to 3052 for mech reasons.
