Evaluation
Overload launched out of Early Access on May 31, 2018 as a complete game with a full single-player campaign, challenge mode, and multiplayer. After launch, Revival Productions shipped a series of patches and two additional content packs: the Community Level Pack (September 29, 2018), which added nine community-made single-player levels and 12 challenge mode maps, and the Anniversary Level Pack (July 19, 2019). A free Level Editor was also released on June 22, 2018. All four DLC items listed on the store are released. The last developer news post in the dataset dates to late 2018, and the last content release was the Anniversary Level Pack on July 19, 2019. There have been no developer communications announcing future content, no unreleased DLC on the store, and no roadmap or promises of additional updates since that final content pack. The game appears to have launched as a premium, content-complete product and received a modest post-launch content cycle that concluded with the Anniversary Level Pack in July 2019.
