Evaluation

Cento launched on May 15, 2024 and has received consistent content updates ever since. In the months following launch, the developer added new characters and stages roughly every 4-6 weeks (versions 1.1.0 through 1.5.0, May through September 2024). This continued into 2025, with a new character (Cashu) added in January 2025, a major version 2.0.0 overhaul on June 29, 2025 that rebalanced every character and introduced new mechanics, and a series of follow-up balance patches through October 2025. Most recently, on July 29, 2026, the developer shipped version 3.1.0 — a Story Update that added character side stories unlockable through affinity progression and new café arrangement music content. This is the most recent of the 48 developer posts on record, confirming the developer is actively engaged as of late July 2026. No statement has been made indicating that development or content support has concluded.
