Evaluation

Ubisoft Bordeaux explicitly stated on January 30, 2025 that the 1.0 release would be "the final available content for the game." The game exited Early Access on February 4, 2025 with this final update, which added peer-to-peer multiplayer to allow continued play after the matchmaking servers closed on March 1, 2025. The studio made clear that development was concluding and no further content would follow. The game remains purchasable and free-to-play, with daily login rewards cycling through the existing 138 cosmetic items indefinitely. There is nothing more planned — this is the complete and final state of the game.

Evidence

Game servers closed March 1st as announced; peer-to-peer transition completed. No new content mentioned.
