Kin and Quarry

Kin and Quarry launched on January 16, 2026. The day before release, the developer explicitly stated: "As with all of my projects, it'll release in 1.0 with a defined start and ending." This is a clear declaration that the game was intentionally designed as a complete, self-contained product. Following launch, the developer issued a series of patches in January 2026 addressing balance and bugs, but no new content was ever announced or added to the base game. There is no DLC listing, no roadmap, and no post-launch statement indicating more content is coming. On May 1, 2026, the developer announced "Kin and Conquest," a separate spinoff game with its own playtest — this is an entirely new title, not content for Kin and Quarry. The game was previously assessed as recently launched with some uncertainty, but as of today (July 16, 2026), it has been available for six months. The developer's pre-launch statement about the game having "a defined start and ending" has been borne out: post-launch activity consisted only of maintenance patches, and the developer has since moved on to a new project. Kin and Quarry shipped as a finished product on January 16, 2026.
