Evaluation

DEADCRAFT launched on May 19, 2022 and shipped two DLC packs in quick succession: "It Came From the Junkyard" on June 2, 2022 and "Jessie's Wasteland Wares" on June 16, 2022. Developer blog posts written by producer Hisashi Fujii describe both DLC as having been developed during the final stages of the main game's production — they were planned alongside the base game rather than as ongoing post-launch expansions. The store's DLC list shows exactly two entries, both released, with no unreleased items. After the two DLC shipped, the developer issued a handful of maintenance patches — fixing progress-blocking bugs in June and September 2022, and making minor balance adjustments in February 2023. The last communication of any kind was the February 16, 2023 patch. No new content, roadmaps, or announcements have appeared since then. There is no sustained pattern of major post-launch content drops, no unreleased DLC on the store, and no developer statements hinting at future updates. The game launched as a complete product accompanied by two DLC packs that were created as part of the original development cycle. All content has been delivered.
Evidence
Second and final DLC 'Jessie's Wasteland Wares' released. Both DLC entries in the store listing are marked as released with no unreleased items.

About this game

Farm the dead to stay alive.

Welcome to DEADCRAFT, a new twist on the zombie survival-action genre!

In a world ravaged by a deadly virus, half-zombie Reid must survive not only by taking an axe, weedwhacker— anything he can get his hands on—to hordes of the undead, but by growing some zombie followers of his own.

Choose your allies and enemies wisely as you try to make it through the apocalypse alive!

Undead Action

Use Reid's half-zombie side to unleash devastating powers in battle. Whether your targets are human or undead, crush all who stand in your way!

Zombie Crafting

Collect and plant the corpses of your enemies to grow your very own zombie workers, then scavenge for materials to create all manner of weapons, tools—even some post-apocalyptic cuisine. Don't stop until you've built an unstoppable undead army!

Survival at Any Cost

You won't survive a day in the wasteland without food and water—earn your living by helping others, or simply take what you want by force.
