Evaluation
Perimeter is a classic Real-Time-Strategy game originally released in 2004 and brought to Steam on April 3, 2014. The store description describes a complete, self-contained game with no mention of post-launch expansions, DLC, or ongoing content. Notably, the description references the GameSpy multiplayer shutdown — a historical event from 2014 — and directs players to alternative connection methods, confirming this is a legacy product with no active development cycle.
All four news posts on the game's Steam page are entirely about a different game — The Pegasus Expedition — published under the same publisher (Fulqrum Publishing). None of these posts address Perimeter's development, updates, or future content in any way. There are no DLC listings, no roadmaps, no patch notes, and no developer communications about Perimeter itself since its Steam launch.
Perimeter launched as a finished, standalone product — a port of a 2004 game — with no post-launch content cycle ever established. The game is complete as shipped.
Evidence
Store description presents Perimeter as a complete, self-contained RTS game with no mention of DLC, expansions, or planned post-launch content. Includes a note about the GameSpy shutdown directing players to alternative multiplayer options, indicating no active development.
Most recent post on the Perimeter news feed is entirely about The Pegasus Expedition leaving Early Access — a separate game by the same publisher. No Perimeter-specific content mentioned.

About this game
Perimeter is an innovative Real-Time-Strategy game that pits players against each other or AI opponents in a life and death struggle to seize territory and establish critical protective “perimeters.” Players will be introduced to the game’s unique “terraforming” feature, allowing them to move, build, construct and destroy the map environment. Set in a future where the Exodus civilization has abandoned the dying Earth, the game offers a well-balanced combination of new terraforming principles and territorial wars with traditional strategy elements.
Key features:
- Fast paced Real-Time-Strategy action
- Introduces principles of terraforming in which players can construct or destroy the very gameworld environments themselves
- State-of-the-art engine and graphics that deliver powerful gameplay and solid audio and visuals
- Detailed science fiction universe with original soundtrack, including high quality electronic music
- Perimeter is affected by the GameSpy shutdown on the 31st of May. You can continue to play the game through LAN, DirectIP and GameRanger.
