Evaluation
Skyhook launched out of Early Access on May 17, 2016, after about a year of active development. At launch, the developer (Qazi) stated they would continue supporting the game with updates. True to that promise, two more substantial updates followed: a gamepad overhaul on October 13, 2016, and the Halloween-themed "Halloween In The Skies" update on October 25, 2016, which added new character skins, quests, achievements, and maps. That Halloween update, posted on October 25, 2016, is the last developer communication on record. Notably, the October 13, 2016 patch post also mentioned that Qazi was already streaming development of a "newest game" — signaling a shift in focus away from Skyhook. No further updates, announcements, or developer communications have been posted since October 25, 2016. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no announced future content, and no ongoing update pattern to suggest more is coming. The game appears to have concluded its post-launch support window with that final Halloween update in late 2016.
Evidence
Halloween In The Skies update released — the largest post-launch update, adding skeleton skins, new quests, achievements, and maps. This is the last developer communication on record.
No developer posts of any kind after October 25, 2016 — nearly a decade of silence with no roadmap, announcements, or further content.
