Evaluation
Crash Dive launched on July 6, 2015 and received a series of feature patches and bug fixes through December 25, 2017, when version 1.7.45 was released. That patch is the last recorded developer communication. There are no major named expansions or DLC in the game's history, no unreleased DLC listed on the store, and no developer announcements of future content. The store description presents the game as a complete, feature-rich product with no mention of planned additions. The developer has not posted any updates since December 25, 2017. Given the sustained absence of any communication or content releases since that date, the game was almost certainly delivered as a finished product and is no longer receiving updates.
Evidence
Version 1.7.45 released — the last developer communication, fixing a bug with ship targeting and clearing leaderboards. No future content mentioned.
Version 1.7.43 released with minor gameplay adjustments to random missions. No future content announced.
