Evaluation

Aragami launched on October 4, 2016 and received steady post-launch support from Lince Works. The developer shipped several patches in the months following launch, a cosmetic DLC (Assassin Masks Set) in December 2016, and a Level Editor with Steam Workshop support in February 2017. The final and most substantial content addition was the Aragami: Nightfall story expansion on June 5, 2018, which added a new prequel campaign with new playable characters and shadow powers. All four DLC items listed on the store are released, and no further content for the original Aragami has been announced since Nightfall shipped. The studio's attention subsequently shifted entirely to Aragami 2, which launched in September 2021 and received post-launch updates through September 2022. On March 7, 2023, Lince Works posted a "Farewell" announcement confirming the studio would cease development of new projects indefinitely starting in April 2023, citing unfavorable economic conditions. This is a definitive Tier 1 developer statement confirming no further development of any kind from the studio. Since the original Aragami's content had already concluded with the Nightfall expansion in 2018 — well before this announcement — the game has been a complete, finished product since June 5, 2018.
