Demonlore

Demonlore (formerly Riftbound) launched on May 12, 2022 and has since received two major free expansions. The first, "Summoner's Path," shipped on May 9, 2023, adding a full roguelite game mode. The second and largest, "Demonlore," shipped on October 2, 2024, overhauling core systems, adding six characters, new boss types, a new stage, and a wide range of new mechanics. Alongside the Demonlore expansion launch, Barrel Smash Studios announced their next game, Oceaneers, signalling that the team's focus has shifted to a new project. A follow-up post on March 31, 2025 confirmed the game was rebranded to "Demonlore" (adopting the expansion's name), included a small balance patch, and noted that "nothing in the game has changed" content-wise beyond routine improvements. This March 2025 post is the most recent developer communication, and it reads as a housekeeping update rather than a signal of ongoing major development. There are no unreleased DLC items listed on the store, no announced future expansions or content roadmaps for Demonlore, and no developer statements promising further major updates. The two-expansion pattern (roughly 17 months apart) combined with the studio's pivot to Oceaneers and the absence of any new content commitments since October 2024 indicates the game has reached its completed state. The last developer communication was March 31, 2025 — nearly 15 months before today's date — with no content announcements attached.
