Evaluation
Praey for the Gods launched into Steam Early Access and spent several years in development, receiving regular updates. The game reached its full 1.0 release on December 14, 2021, which the developer described as containing "the final 2 boss battles, the complete story from beginning to end and all Achievements" with the entire world now open to explore. This was the culmination of the Early Access journey.
After the 1.0 launch, No Matter Studios released two quality-of-life and feature patches in early 2022 (February and June), addressing Steam Deck compatibility, new climb options, and player-requested improvements. These were maintenance and refinement updates rather than new story or content additions.
The most recent developer communication, posted on February 28, 2024, did not announce any new content for Praey for the Gods. Instead, it focused on merchandise, fan art, a Mac beta build, and a forward-looking tease that the studio is working on "something new" — explicitly described as a new project building on what they learned from Praey for the Gods, not an expansion or DLC for the existing game. This strongly suggests the studio has moved on to a new title.
There is only one DLC listed — the soundtrack, released in January 2019. No new DLC has been listed or announced. The game shipped as a complete package at 1.0, and no post-launch story content or expansions have been released or announced. The studio's attention appears to have shifted to their next project.
Evidence
Most recent developer post announces merchandise, a Mac beta build, and fan art spotlight. The 'Looking Ahead' section references a new, unannounced project — not new content for Praey for the Gods.
V1.0 launched containing the final 2 boss battles, the complete story from beginning to end, and all achievements. The world is fully open with no more off-limits areas.

About this game
Praey for the Gods is a boss climbing open world adventure game where you play as a lone hero sent to the edge of a dying frozen world to discover the mystery behind a never-ending winter. Arriving with only the clothes on your back, you must survive the colossal dangers that you encounter. To restore balance and reclaim the land from the brink, you will be faced with questions that not even a God knows the answer to.
Overcome impossible odds to climb atop and defeat the massive beasts that are bound to this land.
You can climb on virtually anything you can get your hands on, from ruins and mountains to the massive beasts that inhabit the land. Ascend to the tops of mountains and then glide over the open world to reach previously inaccessible locations. Swim in frigid water to uncover hidden locations that contain secrets and treasure, but don't stay in too long or your swim could become your last.
You'll arrive on a frozen island with only the clothes on your back -- it's up to you to survive. Make fires, hunt for food, and find the equipment you need to make it through an eternal winter. Nature isn't the only danger, so craft weapons, defeat minions for better gear, and venture into long forgotten caves to discover their secrets. Triumphing over these trials will prepare you for the impossible odds that wait.
Praey for the Gods is a non-linear game where you choose who you battle and how. While destiny will give you a nudge, virtually all the large beasts can be attempted in any order allowing you to set the course.
Why won't the winter stop? Why has no one returned? Cryptic paintings left behind allude to a story once thought forgotten. To restore balance and reclaim the land, you will be faced with questions that not even the gods know the answer to.
Explore a landscape of unending winter framed by snow-capped peaks and crawling fog. The remnants of an ancient civilization lie before you, but don't let awe turn into carelessness -- snow storms can crop up at any moment and bury you in a blizzard. Luckily, you can leave footprints in the snow and follow your footsteps back if you are lost.
Praey for the Gods is being created by No Matter Studios a tiny studio of 3. Brian Parnell, Tim Wiese (glasses) and Hung-Chien Liao. In 2014, the friends began working after-hours on their first game. By January 2016, they had enough confidence in their progress to leave game-studio jobs in San Francisco and move to Seattle. Working in Parnell’s basement, they pursued an all-or-nothing dream to make the game of their dreams.
