Evaluation
Island 359 graduated from Early Access to its full 1.0 release on February 26, 2018, with the addition of Survival Mode as the headline feature. Post-launch, the developer shipped one more feature update (Update 1.08 on July 11, 2018) that addressed bugs and added minor quality-of-life improvements. That was the last substantive update to the game's content.
The most important communication is a developer status post from July 16, 2024, in which the developer returned after a long absence to explain what is and is not planned going forward. The developer explicitly stated that adding "more content" — defined as more levels, weapons, or dinosaurs — is "not in scope" due to bandwidth limitations. The planned work described is purely technical: updating the game engine from Unreal 4.17 to 4.27 to improve stability, support modern VR headsets (Quest 2/3), and polish graphics. No new gameplay content is being developed.
There are no unreleased DLC listings, no announced expansions, and no roadmap pointing to future content. The developer has been transparent that the game's content is complete; what remains is maintenance and compatibility work. The last content-adding update shipped on July 11, 2018, which is the most reasonable date to consider the game's content finalized.
Evidence
Developer explicitly stated that adding more content (levels, weapons, dinosaurs) is 'not in scope' due to bandwidth limitations. The planned update is limited to engine upgrade, stability fixes, modern headset support, and graphical polish — no new gameplay content.
Game graduated from Early Access to full 1.0 release with Survival Mode as the final major feature addition.

About this game
You step off the chopper and into the sweltering heat of the jungle, grab your gear, and head off in search of fame, fortune, and prehistoric beasts. Nobody knows exactly why dinosaurs have shown up on this remote jungle island, but you know you can take them out. You've been hired as a mercenary to kill as many of these things as possible, and the good news is the checks have all cleared.
Island 359 is a Virtual Reality survival game for the HTC Vive and Oculus Touch. Players will scrounge for weapons, upgrades, food, and other items they can find to survive for as long as they can against hordes of dinosaurs, as they explore the increasingly dangerous, beautiful, and expansive island. You're a mercenary, the money's no good to you if you're dead, so you're going to need to survive long enough to get out if you want bragging rights and a fat bank account.
Now Featuring our all new Survival Mode. Can you last on six square miles of dino infested island with only your wits to guide you? Loot, craft, and fight for your life as you attempt to uncover just what happened on Island 359.
Survival Mode Features:
See your entire body in VR! Using our Virtual Self solve, you can now see your body in Island 359. It works with or without the HTC Trackers (and even works with Oculus Touch!). Just step into the boots and follow the easy-to-follow instructions and get calibrated! Kick some Jurassic in Island 359 using your Virtual Self!
