Evaluation
Arcane Raise launched on March 10, 2017 with all six DLC items releasing on the same day as the base game — these appear to be bundled content add-ons rather than post-launch expansions. Following launch, the developer posted news about platform support (Mac/Linux added May 28, 2017) and announced three related spin-off games in the Arcane Raise universe: Occult Raise (August 8, 2017), Occult RERaise (September 5, 2017), and Occult preRaise (November 7, 2017), the last of which was described as "the final chapter of Occult Raise series." These spin-offs are separate Steam products, not content updates to this base game. There have been no developer communications of any kind since November 7, 2017 — nearly nine years of silence. All DLC for this game was released on launch day, no future content was ever announced for the base game, no roadmaps were published, and the store description contains no indication of planned updates. The game was released as a complete product and has received no post-launch content beyond a platform compatibility update.
