Evaluation

THE IMPOSSIBLE launched on July 24, 2020 as a 30-level minimal puzzle game. The only released DLC is the soundtrack (August 1, 2020). The store description still lists "new levels & editor coming soon in free update," indicating that promised content has not yet arrived. The most important signal is the developer's June 26, 2025 multi-game overview post, which explicitly states: "Free DLC is planned, maybe a HD update and a sequel: THE IMPOSSIBLE 2: New Pat(c)h." This is a clear, direct statement of planned future content for the game. No later developer communication contradicts or supersedes this statement — the developer's most recent posts (through February 2026) confirm the studio remains active, continuing to release new games, but none of those posts walk back the plans for THE IMPOSSIBLE. This developer is a solo hobbyist who also holds a full-time job, which they have acknowledged accounts for slow progress and delays. Their pattern of continued studio activity — shipping multiple new titles between 2023 and 2026 — demonstrates the studio is healthy and not abandoned, even if individual game updates take considerable time. The June 2025 commitment to free DLC and a sequel for THE IMPOSSIBLE therefore remains the standing developer position.
