Evaluation
Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 launched on July 10, 2020 as a complete, self-contained retro action game. In the weeks following launch, Inti Creates released a series of patches adding features like Boss Rush mode (July 16, 2020) and the "LEGEND" gameplay style (July 30, 2020), along with several bug fixes. The last developer communication was the Ver. 1.3.1 patch on July 30, 2020. There has been no developer communication of any kind since that date — over five years of silence. The game has no DLC listings, no announced expansions, no season pass, and no roadmap. The store description describes the game as a complete package with no mention of future content. Inti Creates launched this as a finished product, delivered a short burst of post-launch polish patches, and have not indicated any additional content is planned. The game is complete.
Evidence
Ver. 1.3.1 released, adding the 'LEGEND' gameplay style and miscellaneous fixes. This is the last developer communication on record.
Ver. 1.2.0 added Boss Rush mode along with several bug fixes shortly after launch.

About this game
Koji Igarashi and Inti Creates are back with more retro sword-and-whip action!
Curse of the Moon 2 brings classic 2D action and a dark, 8-bit aesthetic together with modern playability. The multiple-scenario structure of the previous title returns with an epic new story supervised by IGA (Koji Igarashi) himself.
Players take control of Zangetsu, a swordsman from the far east who bears a deep grudge against demonkind and the alchemists who summoned them. Zangetsu must battle his way to the demonic stronghold, but he doesn't have to do it alone! Zangetsu can ally himself with a brand new cast of characters he meets along the way and add them to the playable roster.
Three brand-new playable characters appear in Curse of the Moon 2, including the exorcist Dominique. All characters from the original Curse of the Moon game are playable, too! Each new character adds a variety of gameplay options, abilities, and ways to complete the games' many stages.
Players can also create demon hunting duos in 2-player local co-op, available for the first time in the series! Work together with a friend, mix and match the strengths of two different characters, and conquer stages in tons of new and exciting ways.
