Evaluation

NOISZ launched on August 31, 2018 and has received a steady stream of content updates over the years. Major expansions include NOISZ re:||VERSE (January 1, 2020), NOISZ episode G (October 7, 2023), and most recently the NOISZ reV3.0 update alongside the Stellar Lineage Pack DLC (April 16, 2025). The April 16, 2025 update notes explicitly describe that release as "NOISZ FINAL pt.1" — the first part of the series conclusion — and close with: "We're looking forward to bringing you an incredible ending to the series with NOISZ FINAL pt.2." This is a direct, specific commitment to one more piece of content still to come. The developer has remained active after that announcement: on September 1, 2025, they posted about free crossover content in their newer game PROJEKT GODHAND that ties back to NOISZ, confirming ongoing engagement with the NOISZ community. No post-April 2025 communication has walked back or superseded the NOISZ FINAL pt.2 commitment. The studio is also working on other projects (PROJEKT GODHAND and Chronal Chain), but has not indicated this affects delivery of NOISZ FINAL pt.2. As of October 1, 2026, roughly 17 months have passed since the pt.1 release with no update on pt.2. While this is a longer silence than ideal, the developer's most recent NOISZ-adjacent post was September 1, 2025 — just 13 months ago — and the studio has not signaled any change of plans. The outstanding commitment remains in place.
