Evaluation

Coal LLC launched on September 11, 2025 and has been actively updated ever since. The developer has shipped four major content updates after launch: v1.1 (September 27, 2025) added Challenge Modes and a trophy system; v1.2 (November 4, 2025) was a massive endgame expansion adding new professions, weapons, gems, and layers; v1.3 (March 26, 2026) added three new professions and three new weapons including Tanks, Jets, and Orbs; and v1.4 (April 14, 2026) added two more weapons and three more professions. These have been supplemented by numerous feature patches and bug fixes throughout. The most recent developer communication was on April 16, 2026. In October 2025, the developer also posted a celebratory milestone update teasing "big things coming," signaling enthusiasm for continued development at that time. No specific future content has been formally announced, and the developer has not indicated any plans to wind down updates.
