Evaluation

Ecto launched on April 28, 2026 as a free-to-play game. On that same day, the developer Dez Boyle published a farewell post titled "Ecto is done!" explicitly stating it was time to move on to a new project. This was reinforced by a March 16, 2026 open beta announcement where Dez stated "I'm done creating levels and content for the game, any other update after this will be tweaks and bug fixes." Following launch, one additional patch shipped on May 27, 2026 adding speedrunning tools for the community. That post closes with: "this is probably the last ever update to Ecto. I already have another project in the works that I'm very excited about." This is the clearest possible signal that development of Ecto is complete. The only DLC is a cosmetic "Bonus Level (Support the Developer)" pack that was released on launch day alongside the base game — it was never a promise of future content, just a way to financially support the solo developer. The game is complete. Dez has moved on to a new project.

Evidence

Final patch adding speedrunning tools. Developer states 'this is probably the last ever update to Ecto' and mentions a new project already in the works.
