Evaluation
Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword released on May 3, 2011 as a standalone expansion to Mount & Blade: Warband. The store description presents it as a complete, feature-rich product with no mention of future content, DLC, or ongoing development plans. Of the 23 developer news posts scanned, zero are about content updates, patches, or features for this game — the only announcement of note (February 19, 2020) was about Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord entering Early Access, an entirely separate title. The remaining posts were sales, discounts, and community events. There is no DLC listed for this game, no roadmap, and no developer statement suggesting further development. TaleWorlds has clearly moved on to Bannerlord as their primary focus. With Fire & Sword launched as a finished standalone expansion and has received no post-launch content additions.
Evidence
Game is presented as a complete standalone expansion with a full feature set including singleplayer, multiplayer, and story content. No mention of future updates or DLC.
The only developer announcement post is about Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord entering Early Access — a separate game entirely. No communication about With Fire & Sword's development.
