Evaluation
Banners of Ruin launched into full 1.0 release on July 29, 2021, after a period in Early Access. Following its full release, the developer MonteBearo shipped three paid character DLCs: Powdermaster on July 29, 2022, Moonstone on December 6, 2022, and Iris on September 1, 2023. Each DLC added a new hero character, cards, enemies, and scenarios. A small patch (1.4.64) was released on September 27, 2023, fixing bugs introduced with the Iris DLC — this is the last recorded developer communication.
All four DLC entries in the store listing are marked as released, and no unreleased DLC is listed. The three character DLCs followed a rough cadence of roughly 5–9 months apart (July 2022 → December 2022 → September 2023). The last of these shipped on September 1, 2023, now nearly three years ago as of June 2026, with no subsequent announcements, roadmap, or hints of additional content from the developer. The silence far exceeds the historical release window established by this DLC series.
The developer has not made an explicit "we're done" statement, but the combination of all DLC having shipped, no unreleased content listed on the store, and approximately 33 months of complete silence strongly indicates the game's content cycle has concluded. The September 27, 2023 bug-fix patch is used as the completion date, as it represents the last meaningful developer activity on the game.
Evidence
Iris, The Haunted One DLC released — the third and most recent paid character DLC for the game, adding a new hero, cards, enemies, and scenarios.
Iris DLC is the most recent of four DLC entries, all marked as released. No unreleased DLC exists in the store listing.

About this game
The Blackfoots have been dealt a mighty blow by the fearsome House Ender - you must infiltrate their defences and cut out the rot.
Build your deck and fight your way through the city of Dawn's Point with card based combat and up to 6 members in your party. Characters loyal to your cause have a set of unique cards and abilities that may augment your deck in powerful, exciting ways. Defeat each of the elite opponents in your path to the city's Guard Captain and cripple the Enders at their core. You and your brethren may fall at this attempt, but there will always be others to carry the torch. House Blackfoot will remember, and they will never relent. Encounter a series of scenarios as you travel through the city which may help you, but at the expense of some moral ground.
