Knock on the Coffin Lid

Knock on the Coffin Lid launched out of Early Access on August 8, 2024 and has remained in active development since. The developer, RedBoon, has shipped meaningful post-launch content: the Nightmares of Millenis story DLC (April 4, 2025) and a Custom Game mode major update (June 18, 2025). Alongside these, the team has been executing a large-scale "director's cut" rebalance of the game — a systematic overhaul of all characters and modes. As of November–December 2025, Persival's rebalance was pushed to a public beta branch, and the team announced that Bjorn's rebalance was next, with Vanadis to follow after that. The developer's most recent communication came on February 27, 2026, where they outlined three simultaneous ongoing projects: the director's cut of Knock on the Coffin Lid (explicitly still in progress), a script for a new game set in the same Midian universe, and a third undisclosed project also set in Midian. The game also released on consoles in 2025, as confirmed in the year-end wrap-up post from December 26, 2025. The development team has maintained a consistent cadence of blog posts, patch notes, and feature updates since launch — roughly every few weeks. The rebalance of multiple characters and modes is explicitly described as ongoing work, and the developer has not made any statement indicating that content development for KOTCL is winding down. All of this points to a game still receiving substantial active work well into 2026.
