Gibbon: Beyond the Trees

Gibbon: Beyond the Trees launched on May 18, 2022 and has received a consistent stream of post-launch updates from Broken Rules. Three major content updates have shipped: Daily Runs competitive mode (September 28, 2022), the in-game Encyclopedia with unlockable entries (December 9, 2022), and the Challenge Modes update introducing Sprints and Endurance Runs (February 28, 2026). In addition, a significant feature patch landed on February 28, 2024, adding a hawk-eagle predator to Liberation mode along with visual and gameplay polish. The three major updates establish a release pattern, though with irregular spacing: roughly three months between the first two, then a gap of over three years before the third. That third major update — Challenge Modes — arrived on February 28, 2026, making it the most recent official communication from the developer. As of today (October 1, 2026), that is approximately seven months since the last major update. Given the irregular cadence between major releases (spanning from a few months to several years), silence of seven months does not clearly signal that development has ended. No developer statement has announced the conclusion of development or indicated that no further content is planned. The game remains available for purchase and Broken Rules has not communicated any winding down of support.
