Evaluation
Rex: Another Island launched on October 18, 2017 as a self-contained open-world platformer. Shortly after launch, the developer released a version 1.01 patch on November 20, 2017 to fix a speedrun exploit and improve the leaderboard system. The only paid DLC — the official soundtrack — was released on January 29, 2018, completing the game's content offering. No further updates, patches, or content announcements specific to Rex have been made since then. The developer's subsequent news posts on this game's Steam page have been announcements about unrelated Pixeljam titles (Nova Drift, Cheap Golf, Dino Run 2) and a studio bundle, none of which indicate any plans to return to Rex. The store description describes a fully self-contained experience with defined content (777 coins, 5 hidden gems, two secret endings), consistent with a game that launched as a finished product. With the soundtrack DLC now released and no outstanding commitments or future content announced, the game's content has been complete since January 29, 2018.
Evidence
The Rex: Another Island OST was released as the sole DLC on January 29, 2018. This is the only DLC for the game and it has been released.
Publisher announced the OST DLC launch and a sale on the base game. No future content for Rex was mentioned.
