Evaluation
Romance of the Three Kingdoms IX with Power Up Kit is a re-release of a 2003 strategy game, brought to Steam in October 2017 as part of Koei Tecmo's "Kou Shibusawa Archives" series celebrating the developer's 35th anniversary. The store description frames it explicitly as a revival of a previously released classic title — not a new game receiving ongoing development. The only post-launch developer activity consisted of a localization patch in November 2017 to add Traditional Chinese language data. There has been no developer communication of any kind since November 15, 2017, no DLC has been released or announced, and no roadmap or future content of any kind has been mentioned. This game shipped as a complete, finished product and has received no content additions beyond that minor language update.
Evidence
The game is described as a re-release of a 2003 classic as part of a developer anniversary archive series, with no mention of new content or ongoing development.
Post-launch patch added Traditional Chinese language data. This is the last and only developer communication after release.

RTK Ⅸ is a strategy based simulation game based in China's chaotic Three Kingdoms period. Players portray a Daimyo and lead their clan in an attempt to unify the entire land of Japan. For the first time in the series, the game uses a single large map and brings together battle and strategy in an entirely new way. Players give their officers "Strategies" and those officers work to carry them out in real-time. Players can also set up facilities and obstacles on the battlefield to aid them. Officers can learn tactics and employ them in a strategic battle like none before.
