Evaluation

Smoke and Sacrifice launched on May 31, 2018 as a complete, narrative-driven RPG. Shortly after launch, Solar Sail Games released a quality-of-life patch on July 9, 2018 addressing community feedback. On January 23, 2019, they shipped a meaningful content update adding new side quests and the Possession Wand weapon to coincide with the game's console launch on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. That January 2019 update represents the last substantive development work on the game itself. The only DLC ever listed — the official soundtrack — released on September 14, 2018 and is the sole item in the store's DLC catalog, with no unreleased entries. The most recent news post from the publisher (March 1, 2024) is a Curve Games publisher-wide sale announcement covering multiple titles; it contains no mention of Smoke and Sacrifice content or development. Solar Sail Games has made no announcements of future content, roadmaps, or ongoing development. The game launched as a complete story experience and has received no content additions since January 2019. It is a finished product.
Evidence
Developer shipped new side quests and the Possession Wand weapon to mark the console launch. Framed as a celebration of the console release, not a promise of ongoing content.

About this game



Smoke and Sacrifice is an open-world, narrative-driven RPG, where exploiting living ecosystems is the key to your survival. Craft, fight, survive and explore the huge open world in this beautifully hand-painted, gothic adventure where every character has their tale to tell.



Sachi’s home is the one tiny patch of fertile land which remains in an icy wasteland of a world. Her farming community thrives thanks to their devotion to the blazing Sun Tree, which replaces the lost light of the failed sun. After sacrificing her firstborn child to the Sun Tree, Sachi discovers a darker secret beneath the aura of priestly benevolence. Will she discover the truth hidden in the secret underworld, or perish in its swirling, deadly smoke?



With the odds stacked against her, strange creatures challenging her every step, and the ever-looming smoke waiting to steal life and memory, will Sachi ever discover the truth of what happened to her son?
