Just having fun trying to guess what it could mean.
If “WU” is a world update, I’m guessing “CU” means a city update. And since Gamescom 2022 is in Cologne, Germany I’m guess it will get a special update. I assume photogrammetry update and some special POIs, like the convention center?
What is your guess?

Cloud update? lol
I don’t know. I guess we’ll find out at Gamescom next week.
Content Update
OK, editing to be less cynical than my hidden post…
Canals Update
We need inland boat traffic 
Or Continent Update… A more global DEM update for Asia for example 
(post deleted by author)
Coastal update could also be something - improvements on the coastal representation adding some rolling wake effects, reducing glitches on water bodies and making water semi transparent as a first step?
I don’t really think that’s meant but… Who knows? 
For sure it will be some nice surprise.
Oh, “cosmic” would also fit as Jörg talked about the Space Shuttle 
even more unlikely but, well, we got the Pelican©
Was this CU1 think mentioned in the QA stream? I wasn’t able to watch most of that. What was the context?
It was mentioned but only as a tease. It will be explained at Gamescon in a week.
Probably not correct-but Community Update?
Jorg said it was ‘locally relevant’ to Gamescom. So I’d imagine Cologne photogrammetry would be a high probability
The only time I heard about it in the stream was very quickly in passing here (1:06:16):

Did he give more context to it later and say something about it being local to Gamescon?
Others and I have received an update to WU6 (Germany, Austria and Switzerland).
I don’t know if this is related
Why would they suddenly downgrade from upgrading countries to just cities?
At 1:05:51 he says they’re holding something back for Gamescom & it’s locally relevant. It could theoretically mean the local legend but it makes far more sense he’s talking about the CU.
It wouldn’t be a downgrade, it could be just cities which are ready right now but which didn’t make it to the WU they belong to in time back then
Keep in mind it’s basically an additional update to the world and not a replacement for a complete WU.
Btw. I got an update for WU 6 in SU10 Beta - 3.34 GB. That’s interesting
It’s not really a downgrade from the country updates. Canada is coming next month & they’re working on many other country updates. It’s just more of a little surprise addition because why not.
I’m more interested in the fact it’s called ‘CU 1’. Meaning that potentially more single city updates will come down the line in addition to normal country (world) updates.
It makes sense if they only have data for a single notable city & not enough for a full country update or have covered a country pretty well & would sensibly rather focus on countries more in need of a big update whilst not wasting the opportunity to add or improve a random city.
Anyway Köln is written with a K, not a C.
I can agree that it might be C for Cities, but then I really hope we are talking about a list of cities.
Thank you for this info. Living next to ETNN I didn’t notice that. Also I didn’t even know I wrote anything about Cologne? Seems like I learned pretty much tonight.
Btw, as a hint, I wrote in plural - I guess I meant more than one city.
I was thinking of cities as well, since it has a number too as “CU 1”, therefore more updates are expected.
I was also thinking for a while that they could just constantly update cities besides World Updates, since several photogrammetries have bugs or there are so much more cities that could be covered with photogrammetry, and no point waiting for the next WU to do that in a certain country imo.
