EarthX

EarthX launched into Early Access in July 2019 and spent four years in development before officially releasing on July 12, 2023. The developer, Denis, was clear and consistent about the game's content trajectory: as early as November 2021, he announced that version 0.9.0 (the Moon update) would be the final content update, and that only bug fixes, translation improvements, and tutorial polish would follow before the full 1.0 release. This was reaffirmed in February 2022, when Denis explicitly stated "The game is basically done, there will be no more content updates." The game released as 1.0 on July 12, 2023, exactly as planned, completing the content roadmap that had been communicated for over a year prior. On January 21, 2025, Denis announced EarthX 2 — a full sequel built from scratch with a new codebase — and explained that rather than continue updating EarthX 1, the team chose to start fresh due to deeply entangled legacy code. This announcement explicitly frames EarthX 2 as a separate product, not additional content for EarthX 1. A crash issue reported in January 2025 was attributed to a Discord SDK conflict unrelated to any game update, further confirming that no new development work has been done on EarthX 1. The only DLC ever released was the official soundtrack (released April 10, 2020), with no additional DLC announced or planned. EarthX is a complete, finished game that shipped exactly what the developer planned.
