Evaluation
LEAVES - The Return launched on March 14, 2017 as the second game in the LEAVES series. Its only post-launch addition was a Supporter Pack released on April 21, 2022 — a cosmetic/bonus item rather than a content expansion. The developer's most recent communication (March 14, 2026) announced the release of LEAVES 3, a new standalone sequel. This announcement confirms that ZAR 21 has moved on to the next game in the series, with no indication of any further content planned for The Return. The series continues, but this particular entry appears to be complete.
