Evaluation
AshenForest launched into Early Access on January 24, 2020 and received a steady stream of feature updates throughout its Early Access period, adding new boss monsters, playable characters, items, and systems. The game officially released (version 1.24) on June 4, 2020, with a final patch on June 30, 2020 that addressed balancing and bug fixes. That June 30, 2020 post is the last developer communication on record — now nearly six years ago. The only DLC is a soundtrack released on June 5, 2020, which is fully available. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no announced future content, no roadmap, and no developer posts of any kind after June 30, 2020. The game appears to have launched as a complete product and received no further content updates after its 1.0 release.
