Evaluation
Deathtrap launched on February 4, 2015 and received a handful of patches in its first year and a half — adding campaign maps, co-op levels, bug fixes, and minor feature improvements. The last developer update to the game itself was a bug-fix patch on May 4, 2016 (v1.0.6). Since then, NeocoreGames has not communicated any new content, updates, or plans for the game. The only mention of Deathtrap in subsequent years is its inclusion in sale announcements alongside the studio's other titles. No DLC was ever listed, no roadmap was published, and no future content has been announced at any point. The game launched as a complete package and its post-launch patches were maintenance in nature. Development concluded with the May 4, 2016 patch.
Evidence
