Evaluation

Crimson Capes launched on February 12, 2026 and has received consistent post-launch support from developer Poor Locke. In the months following release, the team shipped several notable additions: an online duels system and NPC invasion feature (February 20, 2026), a seamless co-op overhaul (March 19, 2026), a hotfix (May 6, 2026), and a substantial free expansion called "Season of the Warrant" on June 25, 2026, which added Bounty Quests, remastered music, new enemies, and other content. Most importantly, on July 20, 2026, Poor Locke announced that another free expansion is actively in development. It will introduce a new playable character — the Ronin, armed with a Nagamaki — along with a new castle, an expanded world map, new items shaped by player suggestions, and new enemies, bosses, and quests. The developer confirmed this content will be free, consistent with how prior expansions have been delivered. No release date has been given, but the announcement is clear and specific about what is coming.
