Evaluation
Raji: An Ancient Epic launched on October 15, 2020 and received post-launch bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements. On May 24, 2022, Nodding Heads Games released a substantial free "Enhanced Edition" update, which added new difficulty modes, overhauled enemy AI, improved boss fights, added Hindi voiceovers, and made numerous gameplay and visual improvements. This is the last significant content update the base game received.
On November 21, 2025, the developer announced Raji: Kaliyuga — a full sequel to the game — rather than any additional content for Raji: An Ancient Epic itself. This announcement confirms that Nodding Heads Games has moved on to a new project; the original game is a completed, standalone experience. The only DLC ever released for the game is the soundtrack, which shipped on launch day. No additional DLC or updates for the base game have been announced or are pending.
