Evaluation

Mini Settlers: Prologue is a free standalone prologue (demo-like product) for the full game, Mini Settlers. It launched on April 30, 2024 as a free promotional vehicle to showcase the full game. All developer news posts associated with this prologue page have been focused on either the prologue's own launch or updates to the full Mini Settlers game — including the full game's Early Access launch on August 8, 2024 and its 1.0 release on May 7, 2025. The prologue itself is a static, free sampler; it has no DLC, no roadmap of its own, and the developer has not communicated any plans to update or expand the prologue specifically. The full game has since reached its 1.0 release, meaning the prologue's purpose as a preview of things to come has been fulfilled. The prologue shipped as a complete, finished free product on April 30, 2024 with no post-launch content cycle of its own.
