Evaluation
Harvest Moon: Light of Hope originally launched on November 14, 2017 and received a significant update on August 14, 2018 (version 2.0.0) that rebranded it as the "Special Edition." That update introduced a new marriageable character (Soleil), local co-op functionality, and made the game's four DLC packs available on Steam. All four DLC packs — covering decorations and tool upgrades, new marriageable characters, special character episodes, and divine marriageable characters — released simultaneously on August 14, 2018. No DLC remains unreleased. The last developer communication of any kind was the 2.0.0 update post on August 14, 2018. There have been no announcements, roadmaps, or developer statements indicating additional content is planned. The game appears to have launched as a complete package with its Special Edition update and DLC suite, with no further development activity observed since that date.
Evidence
Version 2.0.0 transforms the game into the Special Edition, adding a new character, co-op, and making all four DLC packs available on Steam. This is the last official developer communication.
All four DLC packs (Decorations & Tool Upgrade Pack, New Marriageable Characters Pack, Doc's & Melanie's Special Episodes, Divine Marriageable Characters Pack) released on August 14, 2018 with no unreleased items remaining.
