Evaluation
Tentlan is a free-to-play persistent multiplayer strategy game set in Mayan civilization, released on Steam on July 10, 2018. It is designed as an ongoing online service — players build empires in shared multiplayer worlds, and the game is explicitly described as free with optional purchases to support continued operation. This structure means it is intended to run indefinitely rather than have a defined content conclusion.
The game's Steam news history is thin, with only a handful of posts. The two most substantive were a server merge announcement and its completion on September 19, 2020, when three game worlds (Xlapak, Uxul, and Muyil) were consolidated into a single world called Apasko. There was also a server rollback notice from March 2019 following a hardware failure.
The last developer communication on Steam was September 19, 2020. As of June 26, 2026, there have been no posts, updates, or announcements in over five and a half years. While the game remains live and accessible, this prolonged silence makes it very difficult to assess whether anyone is actively developing or even maintaining it. The game continues to accept purchases of in-game currency (turquoises), but there is no evidence of recent developer engagement.
Evidence
Game is explicitly described as free-to-play with optional in-game purchases (turquoises) to support the game, and states 'Tentlan is free and will always be' — indicating a persistent live service model with no planned endpoint.
Server merge completed: three Steam worlds (Xlapak, Uxul, Muyil) consolidated into one world called Apasko. This is the last developer communication on Steam.
