Evaluation

Outhold launched on December 12, 2025 as a self-described short, complete tower defense experience (4–5 hours across 10 levels). However, the developer has continued adding content after release. On December 19, 2025, just one week after launch, Tellus Games posted a milestone update confirming plans for early 2026 updates including more levels, new towers, and post-game content. They followed through: on March 9, 2026, they shipped a major free content update (v1.1.3) adding Endless Mode with leaderboards and 5 new Artifact Levels for endgame players. A mobile version for Android and iOS also launched the same day. Throughout March and April 2026, the developer continued releasing feature patches and bug fixes refining this new content — the most recent communication being a bug fix on April 13, 2026. No specific future content has been announced beyond what has already shipped, but the developer has demonstrated a clear pattern of post-launch content additions and active ongoing maintenance. There is no developer statement indicating that work on the game is complete.
