Evaluation

Fragmented launched out of Early Access on August 15, 2017, after a 16-month Early Access period. The launch post noted the developer intended to continue with tweaks and bug fixes, but did not announce any major planned content expansions beyond maintenance. After launch, the game's online infrastructure went through a series of wind-downs: US West and hardcore servers were shut down in February 2018, the EU servers were shut down in January 2019, and finally on October 29, 2022, the developer shut down all remaining official online servers — removing the Play Online button from the client entirely. The game continues to support offline play and player-hosted servers. The October 2022 server shutdown post represents the developer's last known communication and effectively marks the conclusion of any ongoing service or support for the game. With no DLC ever listed, no post-launch major content updates shipped, no roadmap or future content announcements, and a final infrastructure shutdown in October 2022, the game is complete. There is no indication of any further development activity.
Evidence

About this game

You awaken stranded on a hostile alien world, after your journey to colonize the planet. Rhyldan, takes a catastrophic turn. Armed with only your fists, your wits and fragments of knowledge buried deep within a damaged clone’s mind, you must ensure the survival of the human race. Harvest local resources to get started, and hunt wildlife with crafted weapons to provide food and protection from the elements. As you survive you will regain access to knowledge and important skills to aid in your survival. Unlock advanced technologies to build giant structures, advanced weaponry and defenses, tame the wildlife, engineer and grow new living species, build robots and vehicles and use it all to support your survival.

Fragmented is mostly a single player game. Players will have the option to host their own servers as well and tweak many of the settings to provide an easier experience or a much more harsh experience including hardcore options.
