Evaluation

Nova-111 launched on August 25, 2015 as a complete, finished game. Shortly after launch, the developer shipped a post-launch patch on September 15, 2015 adding a level editor beta and additional language support. The only DLC ever released was the original soundtrack, which came out on September 1, 2015. No additional paid content, expansions, or major updates have been released since. The most recent developer communication was on June 22, 2022, when the studio updated the game with a native Linux build and confirmed Steam Deck Verified status — a compatibility and maintenance update rather than new content. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no announced future content, and no ongoing update pattern to suggest more content is forthcoming. The game shipped as a complete product and has remained so.

Evidence

Only DLC is the original soundtrack, released September 1, 2015. No unreleased DLC listed.
