Evaluation
Tails of Iron launched on September 17, 2021 and received two free post-launch expansions: "Bloody Whiskers" on November 24, 2021, and "Bright Fir Forest" on December 19, 2023. Both are end-game expansions that extend the story beyond the base campaign's conclusion. The Crimson Knight cosmetic DLC (armour, weapon, shield, and helmet skins) also released on December 19, 2023.
All three items in the DLC list are marked as released, with the most recent dated December 19, 2023. No unreleased DLC is listed on the store.
Developer communications since December 2023 have focused exclusively on the sequel, Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter, which launched on January 28, 2025. The studio has not announced any further content for the original Tails of Iron. The most recent post touching on the original game's news feed (December 11, 2025) is a publisher sale announcement unrelated to the game's development. There are no roadmaps, announcements, or hints of additional content for the original game.
The two free expansions were delivered across a roughly two-year window after launch, and the developer's creative focus has fully shifted to the sequel. With all DLC shipped, no outstanding commitments, and no developer communications indicating further content for this title, the game is complete as of December 19, 2023 — the date the final free expansion and paid cosmetic DLC released together.
Evidence
Bright Fir Forest, a new free end-game expansion with 13 new quests, new arena bosses, weapons, armour, and cosmetics, launched alongside the Crimson Knight paid DLC. The store description for this post also notes 'two free post-campaign expansions' as the full extent of end-game content.
Crimson Knight DLC released on December 19, 2023 — the final DLC for the game. All three listed DLC items are now released with no unreleased entries remaining.

About this game

Set in a grim land plagued by war, Tails of Iron is a hand-drawn RPG Adventure with punishingly brutal combat. As Redgi, heir to the Rat Throne, you must restore your broken Kingdom by banishing the merciless Frog Clan and their ferocious leader, Greenwart.
As you explore the deceivingly charming world, you’ll encounter a cast of unique companions, ready to aid you in your adventure. And you’ll need all the help you can get, whether that’s new meal recipes, blueprints to forge deadly weapons and armour, or even a land-chugging, armour-plated mole mobile!
Overcome your fears. Rescue your brothers. Restore Your Kingdom.
Your tail has begun…
Explore a Treacherous Kingdom
Fully accompanied by the deep, raspy narrations of the legendary Doug Cockle (celebrated within the world of RPGs), prepare to embark on an epic adventure across the mediaeval-fantasy Rat Kingdom. Complete side quests and faction hunts for some additional gold-on-the-side, or join forces with a sharp-eyed companion to help even the playing field.
Master Brutal Combat
From frog zombies to gargantuan grubs - and everything in-between - the Kingdom is awash with danger. To overcome each perilous encounter, you’ll need to study your opponent’s attacks and react accordingly! Thankfully, there’s a range of deadly abilities at your disposal, including parry bashes and fatal executions, not to mention ranged attacks with your nifty bow and arrow.
Customise your Attack
Adapt Redgi’s combat style to the task at hand. Heavy armour may provide better protection but can you really afford to slow down your dodge-roll? And then there’s the question of weapon; axes pack a punch, while spears are quick and nimble. Perhaps you’d prefer the all-round performance of a trusty broadsword?
Overcome Savage Boss Fights
While danger lurks around every toadstool, you’ll need to keep your wits sharp and your blade sharper when it comes to the devastating boss fights. Cold-blooded in every sense of the word, these oversized amphibians each present their own unique combat challenge, and you’ll need more than a good set of armour to come out on top.
Brew Recipes, Craft Weapons, Forge Armour
Redgi’s keep is also home to his brothers, Rem-Rem, Bam-Bam and Dug. Rem can cook up a health-boosting feast with ingredients found throughout the world, while Bam can craft new weapons and armors from special blueprints you’ll uncover… if you look hard enough. And then there’s Dug, who’ll update you about new quests available throughout the Kingdom.
