Evaluation
Trials of Fire launched into full release on April 9, 2021 after an extended Early Access period that began in May 2019. The 1.0 launch post from Whatboy Games described the transition out of Early Access as the completion of the game's development journey, with no roadmap, season pass, or announcement of future paid or free content expansions beyond the base game. The only DLC released — a digital artbook and a soundtrack — both launched on the same day as the 1.0 release and are purely supplemental. Following the 1.0 launch, the developer shipped a handful of balance and feature patches through May 22, 2021 (the last recorded developer communication), adding things like gamepad support and card balance tweaks. There have been no developer posts, patch notes, or announcements of any kind since May 22, 2021. No unreleased DLC exists on the store. The developer made no statements about ongoing or future content development after launch. Given that the post-launch activity consisted only of maintenance and polish patches with no new content announced, and that all communication ceased in May 2021, the game is best understood as a complete, finished product.
