Chess of Blades

Chess of Blades is a completed visual novel that launched on January 5, 2018. Its only DLC, a Digital Artbook, was released on February 26, 2018. The store description presents the game as a self-contained story with a fixed word count, a set number of endings, CGs, and OST tracks — all hallmarks of a finished product. No further content for Chess of Blades has ever been announced. The developer's news posts on this game's Steam page are almost entirely announcements and releases of other, separate games in Argent Games' catalog (Red Embrace, Pale Cachexia, Dead Man's Rest, Red Embrace: Mezzanine, The Hepatica Spring, Guilded Hearts). These posts confirm the studio is active and continues to create new titles, but none of them reference any new content planned for Chess of Blades itself. The last communication touching Chess of Blades specifically dates back to the artbook release in early 2018. Chess of Blades launched as a complete narrative experience, shipped one supplemental artbook DLC, and has had no further content announced in the years since. The game is complete.
