Evaluation
Crimsonland originally launched on Steam on June 11, 2014 as a modernized remake of the 2003 classic. After release, 10tons continued to update the game with new content: a major perk and balance overhaul arrived in August 2016 (v1.2.0) and was finalized in March 2017 (v1.2.3), and the last known major content update — version 1.3.0 "Phoenix Calling" — shipped on January 17, 2018, adding a new quest chapter with 10 levels and a new "Waves" survival mode.
Since January 2018, all developer news posts from this studio's Steam account have been about other 10tons titles (DYSMANTLE, Undead Horde 2, DYSPLACED), with no updates, announcements, or communications specific to Crimsonland. The game has no unreleased DLC listed on the store, and the store description presents the game as a complete package. The developer has not announced any future content for Crimsonland.
With no outstanding commitments, no unreleased DLC, and no developer communication about Crimsonland since January 17, 2018, the game appears to have concluded its post-launch content cycle with the 1.3.0 update. It remains available for purchase and playable as a finished product.
Evidence
Update 1.3.0 'Phoenix Calling' shipped, adding a new quest chapter with 10 levels and a new 'Waves' survival mode. This is the last Crimsonland-specific update on record.
Version 1.2.3 perk and XP update released. Post hints at a future 1.3.x with new quest levels, which was subsequently delivered by the January 2018 update — fulfilling that teaser.

About this game
Thousands of aliens, zombies, giant spiders, mutant lizards, and more are on the attack - can you survive the onslaught? In Crimsonland you will unlock new weapons and perks constantly improving your abilities and arsenal. Your screen will be filled with literally hundreds of monsters and thousands of giblets. Grab your gun and prepare for endless hours of intense top-down shooter fun!
The original Crimsonland was released in 2003. After the game was greenlit at the end of 2013, 10tons decided to give the game a complete tune-up. The brand new 2014 version introduces countless gameplay fixes, a new chapter with new enemies, new perks, and new weapons. On top of that we've done a complete art overhaul!
What are perks? Perks are like talents in an RPG game. You earn XP by killing monsters and with XP you earn levels. After leveling up you get to choose a perk. For example, a perk called Fastloader enables you to reload extremely fast. During a session perks will stack up a and every game will be a bit different. You'll unlock perks during the quest mode after which they become available in the survival game modes.
We've created a huge arsenal of 30 unique weapons ranging from the humble pistol to the mysterious Shrinkifier 5k. The weapons are unlocked by playing the quest mode and they become available in survival game modes as well. The better your arsenal - the better chances you have at scoring higher outside the quest mode.
Crimsonland features up to four player local co-op. All game modes including the quest can be played in co-op mode. There are also separate leaderboards for co-op games so gather your friends and show the internet who wields the gauss shotgun like a pro!
- Quest mode with six chapters
- FIVE survival modes: Survival, Rush, Blitz, Weapon Picker, and Nukefism
- 30 unique weapons
- 55 awesome perks
- Steam leaderboards: global and friends
- Steam achievements & stats
- Full controller support
- Up to four player local co-op
