Evaluation

Dead Ground launched into Early Access on February 1, 2018 and reached its full 1.0 release on February 14, 2018. The developer shipped a series of feature patches and balance updates during the brief Early Access period, then released the finished game. Since the 1.0 launch, there have been no post-launch major content updates, no DLC beyond a soundtrack released alongside the game, and no developer communications about future content plans for Dead Ground specifically. The developer (operating under various studio names — ShotX Studio, DIG Games) has moved on to other projects, including Danger Gazers (launched January 2020), Kontrakt (October 2018), Dungeons of Clay (announced October 2020), and Death Drive (announced August 2021). Dead Ground shipped as a complete, finished product at its 1.0 release date and no further content has been announced or delivered since then.
