Evaluation
Joint War launched in August 2022 as a free-to-play tactical FPS in beta. The developer was initially very active, shipping roughly 15 patches between August 26 and October 6, 2022 — an update nearly every few days. During this burst of activity, the developer repeatedly promised upcoming features including a lobby system, level system, ranked mode, quest system, and clan/clan league systems.
The last developer communication was a patch on October 6, 2022 (v0.15), which added a new map and sniper mode. Since that date — now over three and a half years ago — there have been no further updates, news posts, patches, or announcements of any kind. The store description still describes the game as being "in beta production" and invites players to "reach out during beta phase," suggesting the page was never updated to reflect the game's actual state.
The features that were explicitly promised in developer posts (quest systems, level systems, ranked play, clan systems) were never delivered, and the developer has provided no explanation for the halt in development. This strongly suggests the project was abandoned without any formal announcement.
Evidence
Patch v0.15 released — last known developer communication. Added a new city map and sniper mode.
Developer explicitly promised future additions including quest systems, level system, ranked system, lobby system, and clan systems to be added 'respectively' after matchmaking.
