Ten Bells

Ten Bells launched on August 30, 2024 and has received consistent post-launch content from Hillfort Games. Within the first month, a lore update (September 9, 2024) and quality patches shipped. On October 4, 2024, the free V2.0 update added a full Nightmare mode with 20 new hard anomalies, a new secret ending, and additional achievements — with the developer explicitly writing "we're STILL not done" and promising more updates with new game modes and anomalies. This was followed by the spooky season 2.1.0 update adding more anomalies and seasonal decorations (announced October 19, 2024), a public demo release on December 5, 2024, a major quality update with ultra-wide monitor support on September 11, 2025, and an additional anomaly added on January 9, 2026. This history shows a sustained pattern of meaningful content additions across more than 13 months post-launch. The developer has shipped three major content drops and multiple feature patches. As of today (September 24, 2026), the most recent update was on January 9, 2026 — roughly 8.5 months ago. The established gap between major content releases has ranged from about 2 weeks to roughly 11 months, with no clear fixed cadence. However, the developer has never announced that content development is complete. The 8.5-month silence since January 9, 2026 is approaching the outer edge of the historical release window, but the developer made no statement ending development — in fact the October 2024 post explicitly promised ongoing updates. The game's update history does not show a single predictable cadence, making this a borderline case, but on balance the developer's track record and absence of any completion statement supports treating the game as still in active post-launch development.
