Evaluation

INAYAH - Life after Gods launched on March 27, 2025. The development team was highly active in the months following release, shipping multiple feature patches through the summer of 2025 that added new cutscenes, overhauled the world map, improved voice acting, and refined gameplay systems. On April 18, 2025, Creative Director Vadim published a detailed roadmap titled "Our Journey Is Just Beginning," announcing two free DLC expansions. DLC 1 was described as including a new frost-themed biome, unique bosses, a Boss Rush mode, and New Game+. DLC 2 was described as a larger expansion opening the Iron-Skinned Empire with new biomes, enemies, and lore — roughly a quarter the size of the base game. The post also confirmed that console ports (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch) were in progress with a target of fall 2025. The last developer communication was a security patch posted on October 6, 2025. Since then — covering nearly 11.5 months through today's date of September 17, 2026 — there have been no announcements, patch notes, or developer updates of any kind. The promised fall 2025 console release window has passed without any launch announcement or explanation. Neither DLC has been released or formally announced as delayed. The only DLC listed on the store is the game's soundtrack, which released on November 4, 2025. Given the explicit and detailed content commitments made in the April 2025 roadmap, paired with the extended period of complete silence and missed deadlines, the status of the announced DLC and console ports is uncertain.
