Evaluation
The Wild Eternal launched on April 13, 2017 as a self-described "6-9 hour" narrative exploration game — a finite, story-driven experience designed to be played through to completion. The developer shipped one post-launch patch on May 31, 2017 (version 1.1.1a), which added minor gameplay content, bug fixes, and polish. That patch is the last developer communication on record. The only DLC ever released is an original soundtrack, which shipped on June 13, 2017. No future content was ever announced, no roadmap was published, and no additional updates have been posted since May 31, 2017. The store description makes no mention of planned post-launch content. This game was designed and shipped as a complete, standalone narrative experience, and all available evidence confirms it has been content-complete since mid-2017.
Evidence
Store description explicitly describes the game as a '6-9 hour' meditative narrative experience with a defined beginning and end, indicating it was designed as a complete, finite product.
The only DLC ever released is the original soundtrack, with no gameplay content DLC announced or listed.

About this game
Get lost beneath the fog in The Wild Eternal, a reflective first-person exploration game.
It is the early 1600’s.
You are an old woman named Ananta who has fled a life of suffering to search for lasting peace in the Himalayan wild. After a traumatic life, you long to escape the cycle of reincarnation so that you may finally rest in peace.
Your defiance of reincarnation has landed you in a lush, deserted wilderness covered in fog. A fox-shaped demigod agrees to help you escape your fate, but only if you’ll help him in return.
Explore the mystical wilderness together as you embark on a meditative adventure to heal the scars of your past in hopes of avoiding an eternity of suffering.
