Hero Wanted! Godot 3.0 is in its final march towards a stable release, hopefully before year's end. The first beta will be released shortly and then release candidates and stable. There are, however, many issues open in the tracker and the idea is to fix as many as possible before 3.0 is out. We are working hard to get everything fixed, but extra hands are always very welcome.

With Alpha 2 now out and C# rightfully stealing the spotlight for this release, there is another long awaited new feature that has been added to Godot: VR support. We're also making good progress on the AR front, however it is unlikely for AR to be added to the official 3.0 release at this time. Time for a proper introduction into how you can get into this, what is currently finished and what is on the horizon.

Update: Due to several circumstances (such as a shift of focus from upstream Bullet developers away from game development), Godot 4.0 is going back to its in-house physics engine for 3D (GodotPhysics). Bullet is no longer available in Godot 4.0, but it (or other physics engines like Jolt ) may be implemented as an add-on using GDExtension. Godot's physics engine.
