    Is there any news about it? If I want to start a project for a year, should I slow down on multiplayer part and wait for new Unity networking being released or I can just pick some of the already existing solutions?

    Pick an existing solution that suits your project.

    SmartFox, Photon, Mirror; there's a ton of well maintained multiplayer solutions that don't require waiting for Unity to make/test/deprecate the next networking solution.

    Networking is something you don't need Unity to provide, and Unity's track record on networking is that they don't consider it a priority.

    There is an alpha with a limited set of functionality currently available, which is little more than a bare bones transport. Nothing like the high level functionality Unet had. There is also an FPS demo using it.
