*'''16 April:''' RobTop releases a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNyhP4p-Nv8 sneak peek], confirming the song as Fingerbang by MDK. It showcases 3 new rings — a dark gray one, (which acts like the blue ring but does not switch the player's gravity), a triangular lime one (which may force the player along the lime trail for as long as they hold down) and a triangular red one (which forces the player forward so long as they hold down and then switches the player's gravity). The red ring may create a grayscale effect which turns everything on the screen (the player included) to black and white for a split-second, but this could just be a colour change or a new | *'''16 April:''' RobTop releases a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNyhP4p-Nv8 sneak peek], confirming the song as Fingerbang by MDK.

The red ring may create a grayscale effect which turns everything on the screen (the player included) to black and white for a split-second, but this could just be a colour change or a new color trigger. There are decorational signs showing different icons. It showcases the new "spider" game mode, which appears to act as a ball, but with instant teleportation which appears to flash upon touch. The sneak peek also shows a new red jump pad which acts similar to the pink and yellow jump pads, but with a larger boost (around 6-7 blocks). It shows new decor such as blocks and signs, a new cube icon and a new shake effect. It has an extension to the animated dragons added in 2.0, showing one with its mouth wide open, and the other one with fire coming out (unlike the default movements, where the dragons just open and close their mouth repeatedly). It also showcases the new rotation trigger and the new monster manipulation mechanic. There is a new laser beam hazard that is made of zig-zags. It has actual lava seen rising, which isn't the 2.0 water decoration as a red/orange color. The black bat/monster hybrid is featured too. Once putting the trailer in higher quality, it appears that the spikes in the rocks appear to shine since the particles from the rocks go down the edge of the spike. Finally, around some blocks, there are small, white "star" shaped particles that have an animation. The animation has 4 white triangular beams that separate in different directions and dissolve, and then the animation starts over in the center where the 4 beams moved from before. | ||

*'''17 April:''' On Riot's stream RobTop posts a link to a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1UQ5w2ZEEk video] showing off blue dash rings, the spider, and a new icon that resembles the 60 user coins icon. The video is assumed to be "for spider haters" showing how the spider is different than the ball, because at the end of the test level in the video RobTop has text saying "Do that with the ball..." followed by "Kappa". RobTop also says that there will be a secondary object limit of 80k, but it will have a warning icon. He also says it will depend on the amount of RAM the game is using. | *'''17 April:''' On Riot's stream RobTop posts a link to a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1UQ5w2ZEEk video] showing off blue dash rings, the spider, and a new icon that resembles the 60 user coins icon.

*'''11th June:''' RobTop [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Gv5v2utWgA states] that the spawn trigger will be much more important in 2.1 than it is now. He says lag for moving objects has been reduced. There is a new level editor feature being added which will make creating effects much quicker. For example, if an object is supposed to do something which a trigger makes it do, the player can copy and paste the object and its triggers. The new set will have the object with a new group ID and the triggers updated corresponding to the object's group. Objects can also now be aligned vertically and horizontally. It has been confirmed that the object limit has been increased to 40,000/80,000. RobTop has added new glow objects for slopes. RobTop talks about the new future currency and shop. He says that a user level will reward a certain amount of the currency based on how many stars it has. For example, 5 stars give 100 and demons give 500. The percentage received on that level decides how much the player gets. 10% of the level gives 10% of the currency and so forth. Upon level completion, the player is rewarded 50% more of the currency. He finally says that bugs have been and are being fixed. | *'''11th June:''' RobTop [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Gv5v2utWgA states] that the spawn trigger will be much more important in 2.1 than it is now.

He finally says that he came up with a new idea for icon customization, but it may be added in 2.2. | ||
