Evaluation
I Expect You To Die is the first installment in Schell Games' VR spy puzzle franchise. It launched on April 25, 2017 with its original set of missions, then received two free post-launch content updates: the "First Class" train mission on October 24, 2017, and the "Seat of Power" mission on July 16, 2019. Those two additions brought the game to its current total of seven missions, which the store description explicitly references. No further content updates for this first game have been released or announced since July 2019.
The franchise continued to grow through sequels: I Expect You To Die 2 launched on August 24, 2021, and I Expect You To Die 3: Cog in the Machine launched on September 28, 2023. These are separate titles listed on Steam, not additions to this original game. The current store description frames this entry as "the first installment of the award-winning franchise" and invites players to "see what started it all," language consistent with a complete, standalone product. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no announced future content, and no developer communications indicating further updates to this title are planned.
Evidence
Free 'Seat of Power' update announced for July 16, 2019, adding a mission set in Dr. Zor's subterranean boardroom — the second and final post-launch content addition.
Free 'First Class' update released, adding a luxury train mission through Shimla, India — the first post-launch content addition.
