Evaluation
LEAVES - The Journey is the first entry in the LEAVES series, released on March 7, 2017. A companion sequel, LEAVES - The Return (Part 2), launched on March 14, 2017. The game received a minor bug-fix patch on the same date. The only DLC — a Supporter Pack — was released on April 21, 2022, which represents the last content addition tied to this specific title.
The developer, ZAR 21, has continued the series: on March 14, 2026, they announced and released LEAVES 3 as a standalone new game on Steam. This confirms the studio is alive and active, but LEAVES 3 is a separate product, not additional content for this game. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no roadmap commitments, and no developer statements indicating further updates or content planned for LEAVES - The Journey itself. The game launched as a complete puzzle-adventure experience and has received no new content beyond the 2022 Supporter Pack.
