Evaluation
Potion Explosion launched on May 16, 2018, alongside its one DLC expansion — The Fifth Ingredient — which was released on the same day. No additional DLC has been listed, announced, or released since launch. Developer communications have been sparse and focused on unrelated matters: a July 2022 news post announced a different game entirely (The King's Dilemma: Chronicles, by a separate studio), and a May 2023 post noted that online services had been restored after a technical disruption. Neither post announces or implies new content for Potion Explosion. The game appears to have shipped as a complete package on launch day, with no post-launch content cycle ever established.
Evidence
The Fifth Ingredient DLC released on the same day as the base game. It is the only DLC listed and is fully released.
Developer announced that online services for Potion Explosion were restored following a technical migration. No new content announced.

About this game
The official adaptation of Potion Explosion, the award-winning puzzle board game.
Play this game solo or against players from all over the world with Solo, Online and Local Pass & Play modes!
In Potion Explosion, you will explode ingredients, trigger chain reactions and gather it all in your caldron. You will then use your hard-earned unicorn tears, fairy dandruff and whatnot to craft powerful mixtures with wacky effects! May the best wizard win!
HOW TO PLAY
At the beginning of the game, each player is given potions to complete with specific effects and ingredients. You will have to select ingredients in the dispenser; once your selected ingredient is removed, the ingredients above will slide down. If two ingredients of the same nature collide, they explode and you get them too! You can then use your ingredients to cook up your potions. You only have a limited tank space to store remaining ingredients from one turn to another, so choose carefully! Once a potion is completed, you score points, get to use its powerful effect and pick another potion to craft. The wizard with the most points wins!
PREPARE FOR THE POTIONS EXAM IN SOLO
Play against up to 3 adjustable AIs to sharpen your potion crafting skills!
OR PROVE YOUR MASTERY IN MULTIPLAYER MODE!
Play against wizards from all over the world online and get to the top of the worldwide leaderboard!
To sum up, the game features include:
• The magical universe of the board game, fleshed out and digitally enhanced
• A tactical gameplay, allowing for different playstyles and strategies
• A Solo mode against up to 3 adjustable AIs
• An online Multiplayer Mode with a worldwide leaderboard
