Evaluation
Solarix launched on April 30, 2015 as a complete, self-contained sci-fi stealth-horror game with 12 chapters. The developer's post-launch communication for Solarix itself was limited to a handful of maintenance and bugfix patches, the most recent being a minor patch on June 30, 2016 that fixed achievements and added a small UI option. No DLC, expansions, or additional story content were ever announced or released for the game.
The developer's news activity after 2016 focused entirely on other projects: a companion game called Planet Ancyra Chronicles (announced May 2017, offered free to Solarix owners), a new FPS spinoff called ReFramed (released April 2018), a new game called Post-War Dreams (released September 2019), and a Halloween short game called Caretaker (October 2019). None of these posts indicate any new content planned for Solarix itself.
The last developer communication mentioning Solarix directly was on June 30, 2016. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no roadmap commitments, and no outstanding promises of future content. The game launched as a finished product and has received no content additions beyond its initial release.
Evidence
Version 1.6 patch fixed achievement bugs and added a 'Restart Chapter' UI option — the last developer post to mention Solarix directly. Developer notes they are busy with their next game, De-Void.
Store description presents Solarix as a complete 12-chapter sci-fi stealth-horror game with no mention of DLC, seasons, or planned expansions.

About this game

The story follows an electrical engineer desperately fighting for his life after an infection wipes out an interstellar research station. He must contain the disease, battling both the remnants of the crew and his own fracturing mind. Our goal is to go beyond jumpscares and cheap thrills. Solarix is about a world that overpowers you with unease, insecurity, and desperation, forcing you to confront your own role in the horrors to come.

Here is a detailed description of Solarix Stealth A.I and its relation with the game-play mechanics:
Solarix is a stealth game, and you can either use "stealth-based combat" or you can even finish the game without firing a bullet but knocking everyone out or you can even finish the game without alerting anyone.
If you like stealth kills, explore for ammo, use your pistol carefully(=combat) and aim for headshots and move around...
If you want to knock out enemies, don't use your pistol, use your tazer, observe their patrol points and knock them out one by one...
If you want to create your own darkness, use your pistol on lights, not on enemies...
If you want to "ghost" the entire game that is also possible, but you'll have to keep an eye your light meter and environment all the time...
If you want to lure enemies around, use throwable objects, not any weapons...
If you are around monsters and get caught, use your pistol to defend yourself until you find some cover/hiding spot...
Further in the game, if you are bored of sneaking around, use your shotgun to blast enemies, but you have to explore around carefully to collect ammo first... - Unique puzzles in that require exploration and information gathering in classic adventure style.
- Wide variety in Solarix, you'll travel from cramped corridors to vast exotic forests to giant space stations to ominous underground facilities. Each level has its own strategy; each strategy is created by you. Some levels you'll have to run away from monsters, in some levels you'll want to directly confront them. One level will require you explore around in classical-adventure style to solve puzzles, whereas another level will require you to sneak around carefully.
- Rich in-game content – you’ll encounter not just human enemies and monsters but you’ll have to hack your way through turrets, security cameras, sniper-robots and flying drones. There is a different and unique type of enemy awaiting you around every corner.
- Professional voice acting providing lots of depth to background
