Evaluation
Imp of the Sun launched on March 24, 2022 as a complete, self-contained 2D action-platformer. The game shipped with a full narrative — defeating the Four Keepers and ending the Eternal Eclipse — along with post-game content (minibosses, challenge zones, secret passages) that the developer had described in a January 2022 update as being added as finishing touches before launch.
Since release, the developer has posted no patch notes, updates, DLC announcements, or roadmaps of any kind. The only DLC listed is the game's soundtrack, which released alongside the game on March 24, 2022. There are no unreleased DLC items on the store. The handful of post-launch news posts cover a game bundle announcement (April 2022) and pre-launch promotional materials — none indicate any planned or in-development content additions.
The developer has not communicated with players since April 2022 — over four years before today's date of June 23, 2026. There is no pattern of post-launch content updates to suggest more was ever planned. The game launched as a finished product and no further development activity has been signaled.
Evidence
Imp of the Sun launched on PC and consoles. Developer celebrated release and encouraged reviews, with no mention of future content updates or DLC.
