Sunshine Heavy Industries

Sunshine Heavy Industries launched into Early Access on May 11, 2021 and reached its 1.0 release on August 17, 2021. The developer continued adding content post-launch through a series of feature patches in late 2021 (versions 1.1, 1.1.3, and 1.2.0), then shipped a notable Anniversary Edition update on August 17, 2022 (version 1.3.0), which added new missions, parts, and post-game content. That appears to be the last meaningful content update for the game. The most recent developer news post, from November 29, 2023, announced the studio's new game — Cobalt Core — rather than any new content for Sunshine Heavy Industries. This post effectively signals that the team's attention has moved on. The store description still mentions "more added every patch" for story levels, but no patches have shipped since August 2022, and no future content has been announced. The only DLC is the original soundtrack, which released on launch day. There are no unreleased DLC items, no announced expansions, and no roadmap pointing to future content. The developer has not explicitly said the game is "complete," but the combination of a major anniversary update in August 2022 followed by a full pivot to a new game strongly suggests content development for Sunshine Heavy Industries has concluded. The last meaningful update was the August 17, 2022 anniversary patch.
