Evaluation
TRIBES 3: Rivals entered Steam Early Access on March 12, 2024, with Prophecy Games publishing an Early Access roadmap outlining planned content additions. In the months following launch, the studio was quite active: they shipped multiple feature patches (March 15, March 21, April 3, April 5, June 17, 2024), added a new map (Moonrise), new weapons (Plasma Gun), new game modes (HonorBall), and extensive balance changes. The two DLC items — a Daily Weapon Skin Pass and a Daily Suit Skin Pass — are both one-year cosmetic passes that were available at launch and have since run their course.
However, the last developer communication of any kind was the Moonrise patch on June 17, 2024. Since then — through the remainder of 2024 and all of 2025 into mid-2026 — there have been no patch notes, announcements, or updates from Prophecy Games. The game remains listed in Early Access on Steam with no 1.0 release announced and no statement from the developer about the game's future, the status of the roadmap, or the studio's situation. This prolonged silence after a previously active update cadence raises serious questions about whether development is continuing.
Evidence
Moonrise patch shipped: new map added, major balance overhaul across all classes and weapons. This is the last developer communication on record.
Major content update shipped: Plasma Gun weapon and HonorBall game mode added to the game
