Evaluation
Chronos: Before the Ashes launched on December 1, 2020 as a complete, standalone game — a reworked and expanded version of the original VR-exclusive Chronos, serving as a prequel to Remnant: From the Ashes. The only DLC listed is the game's soundtrack, which was released on launch day. Following launch, the developer shipped one bug-fix patch on December 23, 2020, and there have been no further posts, announcements, or content updates since. No future content was ever announced, and the developer has not communicated any plans for expansions, updates, or additional DLC. The game shipped as a finished product and has received no post-launch content additions beyond that single maintenance patch.
