Evaluation
Puddle Knights launched on March 3, 2020 and received two free post-launch content updates: the Sky High update on July 4, 2020 (adding a new rooftop world and bringing the total to 111 puzzles), and the Lava World update on October 8, 2020 (adding another new world with a fire mechanic, bringing the total to 127 puzzles). After those two content expansions, activity shifted to maintenance — a bugfix patch in June 2023 and a localization update in January 2024. The most recent developer communication was the December 21, 2024 graphics polish update, which improved UI sharpness and upgraded the Unity engine version. That update was framed as a retrospective polish pass nearly five years after launch, with no mention of new content or future plans. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no announced roadmaps, and no statements about additional content. The game shipped as a self-contained puzzle game with 100+ levels, and all post-launch additions have now been delivered. The December 21, 2024 graphics update represents the final known work on the title.
Evidence
Lava World update added a new world with a fire mechanic, bringing the game to 127 total puzzles.
Sky High update added a new rooftop episode, bringing the game to 111 puzzles. Post notes 'more are coming.'

About this game
"Puddle Knights retroactively caused me to create the games I've made"
-- Arvi Teikari, developer of Baba Is You
Puddle Knights is a puzzle game about wits, chivalry and mud. In the game, valiant knights of varying cape lengths assist Ladies and Bishops across mud formations that threaten to dirty their precious hems. As the motto of the Order of the Puddle Knights says: a badly designed sanitation system gives ample opportunity for heroism!
As the player, you will coordinate the movement of both the Knights and their less mud-resistant superiors with the goal of escorting them to their designated exit. To achieve this noble purpose, no sacrifice is too great: capes will tear and heads will be stepped on. However, it is your head that will be doing most of the heavy lifting in these puddle puzzles!
Key features:
Time to protect some dignity!
