Evaluation
HIT is a free-to-play multiplayer shooter developed by a small team of graduate students and released on February 9, 2015 as a passion project. The store description explicitly states there are no in-game purchases, no DLC, and no advertisements — the game launched as a complete, self-contained package.
A developer post from February 16, 2015 — the only substantive communication from the team — explains that the team had graduated and most members moved on to full-time jobs at other studios. They noted that updates would "become less frequent" going forward, and that any continued work would happen in their spare time. This was the last meaningful developer post recorded. The game received two bug-fix patches around the same period, but no major content updates were ever released after launch, and no future content was ever announced.
With no post-launch content cycle, no unreleased DLC, no roadmap, and a developer team that openly acknowledged transitioning away from the project in early 2015, HIT launched and remains a finished, standalone product. There is nothing left to wait for.
Evidence
