Evaluation
Iratus: Lord of the Dead left Early Access and fully launched on April 23, 2020. The game received one major paid expansion — Wrath of the Necromancer — on October 26, 2020, which added new minions, a new floor, bosses, and a new game ending. A set of cosmetic skin DLCs also shipped around the same time. All five DLC items listed on the store have been released with no unreleased entries remaining.
After the Wrath of the Necromancer expansion, no further content for Iratus itself has been released. Developer Unfrozen went quiet on Iratus updates and eventually broke their silence in September 2023 to announce they were working on two new games. In August 2024, one of those projects was revealed as Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era. Importantly, the August 2024 announcement explicitly acknowledged that "Unfrozen maintains plans to develop a new game in the Iratus universe," but described this as a future, separate project — not additional content for the existing game.
The November 2025 news post from the Iratus store page was actually an announcement for an entirely different game (Bloodgrounds), simply cross-promoted to the Iratus audience. No new content for Iratus itself was announced or released alongside it.
In short, the base game plus its one expansion represent the complete content package for Iratus: Lord of the Dead. A sequel or spiritual successor in the Iratus universe has been mentioned, but that would be a new game — not additional content for this one. The game is complete as it stands.

About this game
In Iratus you find yourself fighting for the forces of darkness in the role of the titular necromancer—Iratus, recently freed from his millennia-long imprisonment.
You control an obedient army of the living dead, with skeletons, zombies, banshees and many other unliving warriors. Create your soldiers the only way a necromancer knows how: from the body parts of your slain enemies!
Expand and improve your underground lair. Strengthen your servants by researching secret rituals. Explore the twisted corridors and underground catacombs, and battle against lobotomized miners, greedy dwarves and corrupt mercenaries. Aid Iratus in his quest to recapture and eclipse his former power. Lead him to conquer the forces of good and unleash an eternal kingdom of death upon the world!
The sheer variety of tactical and strategic options makes Iratus a true treat for any ardent fans of the roguelike genre.
