Evaluation

The Eternal Castle [REMASTERED] launched on January 5, 2019. Shortly after launch, on June 27, 2019, the developer shipped a free update adding an extra chapter ("Lost Tales: Episode of a Brave Sacrifice"), which represents the only post-launch major content delivery on record. The game then arrived on Nintendo Switch on July 22, 2020, but this was a platform port rather than new content. There are no DLC listings, no unreleased content on the store, no roadmap or developer statements promising additional content, and no news posts of any kind after July 2020. The developer has not communicated publicly since the Nintendo Switch announcement on July 22, 2020. With a single post-launch content addition followed by a platform port, and no further developer activity or announcements in nearly six years, the game appears to have been completed as a finished product. The last substantive content shipped was the extra chapter on June 27, 2019.

Evidence

A post-launch update delivered an extra chapter ('Lost Tales: Episode of a Brave Sacrifice'). The post ends with 'My mission for now is complete,' suggesting no further content was planned at that time.

About this game

The Eternal Castle [REMASTERED] is an ambitious attempt to modernize an old classic in order to keep its memory alive. Through detailed research and hard work, the production team tried to expand the experience while keeping the same 'feel' and emotional flow of the original masterpiece from 1987.
