Evaluation

Kandidatos released on September 1, 2020 as a political fighting game. Since the previous evaluation in June 2026, the developer has shipped a significant update on September 23, 2026 — the same day as today's assessment. This update added new playable characters, new in-fight dialogue, English and Spanish (Latin America) language support, Steam Achievements, Steam Input controller integration, a windowed mode option, bug fixes, and file size optimizations. The developer's own post describes it as a "MAJOR UPDATE," and it is the first major content release identifiable in the game's news history. The store description also states that the game "is still subject to constant changes, for updates that can add more characters, scenarios and game modes," which aligns with this update pattern. While only one major content post exists in the news history, the fact that this update just shipped — with the developer framing it as a significant milestone ("Kandidatos finally got an update!!!") — indicates the game is receiving active content work. No specific future content has been announced, so this is assessed as ongoing development rather than a concrete promise of named upcoming content.
