Evaluation

Putrefaction launched into Early Access on June 11, 2015 and graduated to its full 1.0 release on August 7, 2015. In the weeks immediately following launch, the developer shipped several patches addressing difficulty, bugs, and performance. After August 21, 2015, all developer communications shifted focus away from Putrefaction itself — first toward announcing the sequel Putrefaction 2: Void Walker (November 2016), then a standalone content pack for that sequel (September 2017), and finally an entirely new project, Galaxy Squad, announced in August 2018. No updates, patches, or announcements for the original Putrefaction have been posted since August 21, 2015. The game launched as a complete, self-contained package with no DLC listed and no post-launch content commitments made after 1.0 shipped. The developer's attention has long since moved on to other projects.
