Magic Research

Magic Research launched on March 22, 2023 and received a flurry of post-launch updates through mid-2023: v1.9.1 (April 6), v1.10.3 (April 13), v1.11.1 (April 19), v1.12.1 (April 24), v1.13.2 (May 5), and v1.14.1 (June 5). These added new Storylines, a New Game+ mode, Steam achievements, UI improvements, and balance changes. A further maintenance update, v1.15.0, shipped on February 6, 2024 — explicitly described by the developer as containing "no new content," only UI changes and bug fixes. The final known update is a small bug fix patch (v1.15.13) on October 22, 2025, which fixed a single UI button issue. On May 21, 2024, the developer launched Magic Research 2, a fully separate sequel. The announcement post for that game explicitly framed Magic Research 2 as a new standalone product rather than signaling any continuation of content for the original Magic Research. No roadmap, announced DLC, or promised future content exists for Magic Research. There are no unreleased DLC entries on the store. The developer's own communications confirm the original game is a complete, finished product. The update cadence shifted from content-bearing patches to pure maintenance well before the last post, and the studio's focus has moved on to the sequel. The store description advertises the game as a complete experience ("Over 40 hours of addictive gameplay!") with no mention of future content. The game launched as a finished product and has received no new content additions since mid-2023.
