The store description makes no mention of post-launch content, downloadable expansions, or ongoing updates — it reads as a full product at launch. The only DLC ever listed is the game's soundtrack, which has been available for some time. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no developer communications about future content, and no roadmap or announcement of expansions. The game shipped as a finished product and has remained so.
