Evaluation

Curse of the Dead Gods left Early Access and launched as version 1.0 on February 23, 2021. Following launch, the studio shipped one free major content update — the "Curse of the Dead Cells" crossover patch on April 14, 2021 — which added new weapons, a new curse, and a new room type in collaboration with the Dead Cells team. On June 15, 2021, in a post tagged as a developer status update, Passtech Games stated clearly: "Back in February, we released Curse of the Dead Gods with its full-intended content." They went on to explain that while the team was debating whether to add more content, they were simultaneously developing a new game and were uncertain at what capacity they could continue working on Curse of the Dead Gods. This is the last developer communication on record for the game, and no further content updates, announcements, or roadmaps have been published since that date. The only DLC on the store is the original soundtrack, which was released on launch day. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no announced expansions, and no roadmap pointing to future content. The June 15, 2021 post effectively marks the end of active content development, with the developer explicitly affirming that the game launched with its full intended content and that no firm plans for additional content existed.
Evidence
Developer explicitly states the game launched in February with its 'full-intended content,' and that the team is uncertain whether or how much they will continue working on the game as they shift focus to a new project. This is the last official communication from the developer.

About this game

You seek untold riches, eternal life, divine powers - it leads to this accursed temple, a seemingly-infinite labyrinth of bottomless pits, deadly traps, and monsters.

Collect mystical Relics and an arsenal of weapons to make yourself unstoppable. Battle through hordes of enemies in dark, cavernous passages filled with traps and secrets of all sorts - fire-spewing statues, explosives, hidden spikes, and worse.

Corruption builds in you with every step - encourage or ignore it, but each powerful curse can be a double-edged sword.

Your greed will lead you to death, but that is not an escape. Rise to fight again. Delve deeper again. Defy the malignant deities that linger in this place.

  • Swords, spears, bows, guns - wield these and many more

  • Light and fire will be your best allies to overcome the threats that lie in the shadows

  • Unique curses influence each attempt, putting a twist on every action

  • Dozens of enemies, with powerful champions and deadly bosses to face off against
