Evaluation

Cannons-Defenders: Steam Edition launched on April 7, 2017. The developer shipped two small patches in the weeks following launch (a bug fix on April 7 and a balance/localization update on April 14, 2017), then delivered one more substantial update on February 26, 2018 — a Unity engine migration and mechanics overhaul labeled "Big Update 0.03." That February 2018 post is the last recorded developer communication. No further updates, announcements, or roadmap posts have appeared since then, and no DLC has ever been listed. The store description makes no mention of planned expansions or ongoing content. The game appears to have launched as a self-contained product and received only maintenance and polish updates before going quiet. With no outstanding commitments, no announced future content, and no developer activity since February 26, 2018, the game is considered complete.
Evidence
Big Update 0.03: engine migrated to Unity 2017, mechanics overhauled, balance redesigned, visual content added. This is the last developer communication on record.
