Drifting Lands

Drifting Lands launched out of Early Access on June 5, 2017. Following launch, the developer (Alkemi) shipped a small number of patches and feature updates through mid-2017, but activity slowed significantly after that. In February 2018, the developer posted an honest update acknowledging that the game had underperformed commercially — covering only about 20% of development costs — and explicitly stated that it would "not be reasonable to expect a lot of new content or any console port." This was a clear signal that major content development had wound down. The final definitive statement came on April 27, 2020, when Alkemi dropped the game's price to $5 permanently. In that post, the developer explicitly stated there is "no intent here to give a second life to the game" and reflected on the project in past tense, describing it as their "little contribution to the world of action-RPGs." The studio confirmed they would move on to making "slightly different games" going forward. No further news posts, DLC, or updates have appeared since that date. Drifting Lands is a complete, finished product. The developer has communicated clearly and on multiple occasions that no further content is planned.
