Evaluation
RUINSMAGUS launched on July 7, 2022 and received a meaningful post-launch content cycle. The first major addition came on December 7, 2022, when CharacterBank released the paid "The Warrior and the Tailor" DLC (adding a new area, side story, boss, and character costumes) alongside a free update adding a survival mode and quest replay. The second and final major update — the "Remix Update" — shipped on April 26, 2023, adding full English voiceover, updated translations, and remixed late-game dungeons as a free update.
Since April 2023, CharacterBank has published no further content updates or announcements for RUINSMAGUS. Both DLC entries listed on the store are released. The developer's most recent communications (November 2025 and December 2025) confirm the studio's attention has fully shifted to their next title, "Knights of Fiona," a new VR game announced for 2026. The December 2025 holiday post explicitly thanks fans for keeping the "passion for RUINSMAGUS alive for three years" — language that frames the game as a completed chapter. A May 2026 post continues promoting Knights of Fiona at BitSummit, with no mention of any future RUINSMAGUS content.
All announced content commitments have been fulfilled: the English voiceover promised in late 2022 shipped with the Remix Update in April 2023, and both DLC items are released. There are no outstanding promises, no unreleased DLC, and no active development signals for RUINSMAGUS. The game launched as a narrative VR RPG with a defined story, received two rounds of post-launch content, and has since been completed.
Evidence
Holiday post thanks fans for keeping RUINSMAGUS alive 'for three years,' framing it as a completed work, and redirects attention entirely to Knights of Fiona.
CharacterBank announced a brand new VR title, Knights of Fiona, stating 'the team has taken everything we have learned from RUINSMAGUS and are pouring all of our efforts into this title.'
