Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist is a free-to-play short-form game (approximately 15 minutes) released on December 4, 2015 by Crows Crows Crows. It received a bug fix patch on December 10, 2015 addressing physics, pathfinding, and various gameplay issues, followed by a final patch on January 10, 2016 adding language support and fixing achievements. There has been no post-launch content update to Dr. Langeskov itself since January 2016.
The developer's subsequent news posts (July and September 2018) focus entirely on other projects — specifically the Accounting+ VR expansion and future PC games in development at the studio. While the September 2018 post does tease "more non-VR games coming to steam soon, a lot more like The Stanley Parable and Dr Langeskov," this refers to new Crows Crows Crows titles, not additional content for Dr. Langeskov itself.
The game was explicitly described at launch as a 15-minute experience and has always been presented as a self-contained, complete product. No DLC, expansions, season passes, or future content have ever been announced for it. The January 10, 2016 patch represents the final update to the game, after which the developer moved on to other projects. Dr. Langeskov shipped as a finished, complete free game and has remained so.

About this game
It’s the hottest summer on record, and all across Europe, valuable objects are disappearing.
Museum curators unlock cabinets and find precious artefacts stolen. Wealthy mansion owners wake up to see their priceless paintings have vanished from the walls.
One thing’s clear: a master thief is touring the continent and the police are left scratching their heads.
In this 15 minute game by Crows Crows Crows, a team led by William Pugh (The Stanley Parable), slip into the soft-soled shoes of the mastermind responsible…
… silently cross the darkened lawn of the mansion…
… hold tight to the tranquiliser gun in your pocket, and commit the most audacious heis--
oh god I can’t do this any more, i’m joining the strike. i didn’t want to - i honestly didn’t want to, but it’s gone too far
i’m supposed to be writing the steam store description and that’s it, that’s my job, but because of the understaffing i’ve been told i need to work in the lighting department too and it’s only a matter of time before i’m re-assigned to wildlife preparation
and everybody knows that working for wildlife preparation is mostly about trying very hard not to be eaten by the tiger
so that’s it, i’m joining the picket. if they want somebody else to finish the description, that’s their problem
i’m out.
