THE LONGING

The Longing launched on March 5, 2020 as a complete, self-contained experience. In the months following release, the developer — Anselm of Studio Seufz — added bonus content: new books, items, and Easter eggs (April 4, 2020), Steam Workshop support for custom book translations (May 22, 2020), and later platform updates including controller support, Steam Deck compatibility, additional language support, and anti-cheat improvements (2022–2024). These updates enhanced and maintained the game but did not expand its core content loop or narrative scope. The most significant recent communication came on May 19, 2026, when Anselm posted a developer update confirming that his team's other game, Lucky Tower Ultimate, had just launched after five years of development. He explicitly acknowledged that "not much has happened in The Longing cosmos" during that period and stated he plans to work on a new idle-adventure game — a different project, not additional content for The Longing. He did not announce any new content, DLC, or updates for The Longing itself. The sole DLC listing is the game's soundtrack, which released on April 4, 2020 and is fully available. There are no unreleased DLC entries and no announced future content for The Longing. The game functions as a finished, standalone artistic experience, and developer communications confirm that Studio Seufz's attention has moved on to new projects.
