Evaluation
River City Girls launched on September 5, 2019 as a complete, standalone beat-'em-up. The store description presents a fully self-contained game — six city regions, a full roster of abilities, weapons, and a complete story — with no mention of post-launch content, DLC, or ongoing development plans. There is no DLC listed for this title. The two developer news posts found are both about an entirely different WayForward game (Contra: Operation Galuga), and contain no information about River City Girls. WayForward did go on to release a sequel (River City Girls 2), but the original game itself launched as a finished product with no post-launch content cycle attached to it.
Evidence
Store description presents a complete, self-contained game with no mention of DLC, future updates, or post-launch content plans.
Developer news post is about a different WayForward title (Contra: Operation Galuga), not River City Girls. No information about River City Girls development.

About this game
There's trouble once again on the mean streets of River City, but this time the boys are in over their heads! In this all-new entry in the legendary beat-'em-up series, hot-blooded heroes Kunio and Riki have been captured, leaving it to their hard-hitting girlfriends, Kyoko and Misako, to serve up some payback. As you punch and kick your way across town - either solo or with a friend in local co-op - you'll gain new skills, chow down on power-ups, wield an assortment of weapons, and unleash an arsenal of combos, throws, and special attacks that will leave the bad guys crying for mama - all in outrageous 16-bit style! The awesome action is punctuated by manga story panels, anime cutscenes, and an epic synth-pop soundtrack. It’s an old-school rumble for a new generation!
