Evaluation
Citizens: Far Lands launched on July 14, 2022. In the weeks and months following release, the developer issued several small patches addressing bugs, performance issues, and minor balance changes (July–August 2022), followed by one final maintenance patch on February 14, 2023 that added V-Sync and frame limiter options along with a few bug fixes.
The developer posted a community questionnaire on August 28, 2022 asking players what future content they'd like to see, and the release announcement noted the team would "reach out with ideas for improvements, polish and perhaps even expansions." However, these were open-ended expressions of interest rather than committed announcements of specific content. No named DLC, expansion, or roadmap was ever announced, and no unreleased content appears in the store listing.
After February 14, 2023, the developer has made no further public communications of any kind — no patches, no blog posts, no announcements. This silence spans well over three years. With no sustained post-launch content cadence (zero major content releases), no outstanding commitments, and no developer activity since February 14, 2023, the game appears to have concluded its post-launch support with that final maintenance patch. The game launched as a complete product and received only minor post-launch maintenance before going quiet.
Evidence
Maintenance patch adding V-Sync and frame limiter options, plus several bug fixes. This is the last recorded developer communication.
No DLC of any kind is listed on the store — no season pass, no expansion packs, no unreleased items.

About this game
Citizens is a turn-based hybrid of a city builder and strategic puzzler where you create beautiful cities, manage resources, plan long term investments, trade with foreign civilisations and look after your subjects. Explore beautiful islands, deal with difficult problems, and think about your next move very carefully, for it could be your undoing!

Citizens offers:

Meet various civilisations along the way. Sightsee ancient temples, trade with scattered outposts, and defend yourself from plunderous Vikings! Be mindful... Ravaging barbarians are not your only enemies. Fire and Plague can be dangerous too.

With all this doom and gloom above, just keep in mind one thing...
If all you want is a peaceful and soothing experience, then try out Free-Build mode! Place buildings without any restrictions on a randomly generated island, or try out economy mode for something more challenging: that's where anything can happen! You'll never run out of new lands to explore. Something will always be different.

Citizens offers:
- New approach to city-building games
- Three campaigns with challenging quests and varying difficulty levels
- Over 50 buildings spread over numerous production chains
- Over 30 different resources to extract, process and manufacture
- Mechanics to spice up your experience such as plagues, fires and winters
- Combat and Trade
- Endless fun with random level generation
