Evaluation

5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel launched on July 22, 2020. In the months following launch, the developer was active: a feature patch on September 18, 2020 added new variants and noted a larger content update was in development, and that update arrived on October 7, 2020, adding puzzles, new piece types, variants, and time controls. After that, the developer issued one final small bug fix on November 4, 2021 to address an illegal move submission issue. That is the last recorded communication from the developer. No further content updates, announcements, or developer posts have appeared since November 4, 2021 — nearly five years ago as of today. The store description makes no mention of planned future content, and there are no unreleased DLC listings. The game appears to have launched as a complete, self-contained product and received one meaningful post-launch content drop before going quiet. With no outstanding commitments, no sustained multi-year update cadence, and nearly five years of silence, the game is considered complete.
Evidence
Major content update shipped: 14 new puzzles, 8 new variants, 3 new piece types, and time controls — fulfilling the content update promised in September 2020.
