Going to expect that this is pointless to even bother asking, but here goes anyway. Is there any hope that we are going to actually get any of the books that were released in the last year, or frankly any of the books past the core book?

I am of a similar mindset. HL is an excellent program but without any updated material or the ability to manually add items, I too am looking for a new generator.

Would be nice if we received any information, even a tentative schedule for development.

Look for Genesis for character generation on Shadowrun 6e

Reposted from the HL Classic board:

The character generator license for Shadowrun has been languishing in Lone Wolf's hands. Nothing has been done for 6th edition since the corebook, despite multiple books being published since then. The last comment we even have from anyone at Lone Wolf was from 2019, just saying they were "working on it."

Even for Shadowrun 5th Edition over on HeroLab Classic, at least two books were promised and quite a few folks paid for, yet have never been added.

Step up or step off. Either actually do the work promised and in some cases paid for, or let someone else take over the license. This is just embarrassing and unprofessional.

Perhaps directing this as the license issuers might get them to allocate it (if it is exclusive) to some other potential partner instead.

A little thread necromancy here but I was talking to a catalyst rep at a convention they have a mild presence at regarding Hero Lab. They are not at all pleased with how things have gone with Lone Wolf and are "seriously considering other options going forward, especially via Foundry."

Take that for what it's worth.
