Evaluation
Portal Knights launched on May 18, 2017 and received a steady stream of post-launch updates and DLC over the following three years. Major content releases included the Weddings and Galas free DLC (February 6, 2020), the Druids, Furfolk, and Relic Defense premium DLC (February 20, 2020), and finally the Portal Knights Legendary Edition (May 13, 2020), which bundled all content — including Adventure mode, five character classes, Creative Mode, and the Faynore expansion — into a comprehensive package.
All 12 DLC entries in the store listing are marked as released, with the most recent shipping on February 20, 2020. The Legendary Edition release on May 13, 2020 effectively marks the conclusion of the game's content development, packaging everything together. No developer communications have appeared since May 2020, and no new content, roadmaps, or future DLC have been announced. The game's historical update cadence — approximately every 6–12 months for major content — would suggest a new release by late 2020 or early 2021 at the latest, a window that has long since closed with no activity.
The developer made no formal statement declaring development complete, but the Legendary Edition release, the absence of any unreleased DLC, and more than six years of silence since the last update collectively indicate that the game shipped as a complete, finished product as of May 2020.
