Evaluation
Chasm launched on July 30, 2018 and has been continuously updated ever since. Two named major content additions have shipped post-launch: the Guildean Arcade Pack and the Race Mode update (October 15, 2021). Beyond those, Bit Kid has maintained a steady stream of feature patches — adding new display effects, engine modernizations, audio improvements, new visual filters, speedrun timers, and Arcade mode tweaks throughout the years.
In September 2024, after a months-long quiet period, Bit Kid addressed community concern directly, writing: "Did Bit Kid finally throw in the towel after six long years of support? Heck no! In fact, it's the opposite." They explained they had been migrating the engine from the deprecated XNA framework to FNA and SDL3 to support long-term multi-project development. In December 2024, the studio confirmed their next game, WOLFHOUND, is actively in development, and noted they have been back-porting improvements from WOLFHOUND's engine to Chasm as they go — meaning the two projects are actively feeding each other.
Updates have continued throughout 2025 and into 2026, with the most recent feature patch released on June 17, 2026. No final update has been announced, and the developer's ongoing engine work and explicit statements confirm the game continues to receive active attention.
Evidence
Patch 1.111 released with a new Speedrun mode, Arcade mode tweaks, and engine/library updates. Most recent developer communication.
Patch 1.096 released on the game's 7th anniversary, adding a Handheld LCD display effect back-ported from WOLFHOUND's engine. Developer notes they are still busy finishing WOLFHOUND and continuing to back-port improvements to Chasm.

About this game
Welcome to Chasm, an action-adventure game in which you play a new recruit undertaking your first mission for the Guildean Kingdom. Thrilled to prove your worth as a knight, you track strange rumors that a mine vital to the Kingdom has been shut down. But what you discover in the mining town is worse than you imagined: The townspeople have disappeared, kidnapped by supernatural creatures emerging from the depths.
Honor-bound to solve the mystery and restore peace to the Kingdom, you embark upon an epic adventure, with deadly battles against cunning monsters, exploration of ancient catacombs and castles, and powerful new equipment hidden at every turn. Though the overall story is the same for all players, your hero's journey will be unique: each of the rooms has been hand-designed, and behind the scenes Chasm stitches these rooms together into a one-of-a-kind world map that will be your own.
