Evaluation

Hinterland launched on September 30, 2008. The most recent developer communication on record is the June 11, 2009 update, which added two new playable Orc classes (Lord and Shaman), expanded gameplay mechanics, and several new items. There have been no developer posts, patches, DLC announcements, or any other official communications since that date. There are no unreleased DLC items listed, no roadmaps, and no outstanding content commitments. The game launched as a complete standalone product and received at least one post-launch content update before going quiet in June 2009 — over 17 years ago. This is a finished game with no indication of further development activity.
