Evaluation
Six Sides of the World launched on January 20, 2016 and received a handful of post-launch updates over the following years. The developer shipped two meaningful content updates after launch: a narrative and puzzle expansion in May 2016 (adding 5 new puzzles and a story layer), and a Halloween-themed variant in October 2016 (Space Pumpkins). A feature patch in May 2017 added full controller support, coinciding with a Wii U release. The final developer communication was on October 1, 2019, when they made the Halloween variant permanently accessible via a Steam beta branch. That post was primarily a quality-of-life change rather than new content, and the September 2016 patch notes explicitly mentioned the studio was already "prototyping the next Cybernetik Design game," signaling that the team had moved on. There are no unreleased DLC, no announced future content, no roadmap, and no developer communications since October 2019. The sole DLC — the game's soundtrack — shipped on launch day. The game launched as a largely complete puzzle experience and received its final meaningful update in October 2019. There is no indication of any further content planned.
