Mineral Defense

Mineral Defense launched on November 15, 2024 and has been receiving consistent updates from Corestone Games ever since. The developer has shipped major content updates at a regular pace: "Ice and Fire!" on March 13, 2025 added a full new world (Glacian) with new enemies, towers, and elemental systems, and the "Research Update" on December 18, 2025 added a large collection of tower-specific upgrades to the research system. Between these, the developer shipped multiple feature patches adding new towers (Sniper Tower, Acid Tower), platforms, UI overhauls, and performance improvements, plus a small bug fix on December 20, 2025. The store description actively signals ongoing content additions, stating "100+ in game rewards, many more to come!" and "184 unique research entries, more added every week." A developer news post from June 2025 (part of a "Mineralistic Mondays" series) announced a new Jungle Planet world in development, describing planned new tile mechanics and turret variation systems — this is a concrete commitment to future content that has not yet been fulfilled by any subsequent release visible in the news feed. The last developer communication was on December 20, 2025. While no updates have appeared since then through today (September 24, 2026) — a gap of roughly nine months — the announced Jungle Planet world has not shipped, and the developer made no statement concluding development. The pattern of major updates (roughly every 3–9 months) and the outstanding announced content means this silence does not yet clearly indicate the project has ended, though it is approaching the point where that question becomes more pressing. The announced future content remains the strongest signal here.
