Evaluation

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified launched on August 19, 2013 as a complete single-player narrative game. All three DLC packs have been released, with the last one — Hangar 6 R&D — shipping on November 19, 2013. The only developer news posts on record are two identical bug fix patches from October 8, 2013, shortly after launch. There has been no developer communication of any kind since late 2013, no announcements of future content, and no unreleased DLC. The game launched as a finished product and received its complete set of DLC within the first few months of release. No further content has ever been indicated or announced.
