Evaluation
Battlezone 98 Redux launched on April 18, 2016 as a remaster of the classic 1998 game. The developer shipped one expansion, The Red Odyssey, on July 25, 2016 — a substantial paid DLC adding two new campaigns, 23 missions, over 30 new vehicles and buildings, and 5 multiplayer maps. That expansion is the only DLC in the store listing and it has been fully released. The most recent developer news posts for this game (from November 2017 and February 2018) are announcements for an entirely separate title — Battlezone: Combat Commander, a remaster of Battlezone II — not new content for Battlezone 98 Redux. There have been no announcements of additional content for Redux, no unreleased DLC, no roadmap, and no developer statements indicating further updates are planned. The game was released as a finished remaster and received its one planned expansion within months of launch. With all shipped content accounted for and no outstanding commitments, the game's content was complete as of July 25, 2016.
Evidence
The Red Odyssey expansion released on July 25, 2016, fulfilling the announced summer launch.
The Red Odyssey is the only DLC listed for the game and is marked as released. No unreleased DLC entries exist.

About this game
One of the greatest sci-fi strategy games of all time returns Spring 2016 with remastered visuals, online multiplayer, and near unlimited mod content from Steam Workshop.
Enter an alternate vision of the 1960s where the “space race” is nothing more than a cover for an interplanetary war between the US and Soviet Russia over mysterious alien bio-metal.
Take command of an army of sleek heavy assault tanks, strike cruisers, APCs and more, and wreak havoc with super-heated projectiles in your mission to blast your enemy from the face of the Moon, Mars, Venus, Titan, Io and Europa.
Scavenge the battlefields for crucial bio-metal, deploy powerful defenses, construct advanced facilities and escalate each battle to an epic confrontation.
