Is There Ever Going to Be Another Subversion Update?

It's been nearly a year now since we've heard anything about Subversion. Is the game dead?

I sincerely doubt that is the issue. IV have never much bothered with games that adhere to "modern standards" with regard to the quality of the graphics. Darwinia's look changed very little from the early alphas, and I'm pretty sure that I have never seen a screenshot of any version of Defcon which looked significantly different from the version released. My assumption would be that IV are working on gameplay and content far more than graphics.

Subversion is fundamentally a different game however. There probably would be at least textures for wood, steel, and concrete. Even people may need textures (clothes, faces).
