Evaluation
Trident's Wake launched out of Early Access on June 4, 2019. At launch, the developer (Bacus Studios) outlined several post-launch plans including a networking revamp, more mission variety, additional weapons, and enemy AI improvements. Following launch, the game received one more major content update — the Khareni Update on November 13, 2019 — which added new enemies, a reworked hacking system, redesigned maps, and various improvements.
After November 13, 2019, there are no further developer communications of any kind in the record. The studio had maintained an active posting cadence throughout 2019 (multiple updates per month during Early Access, then the Khareni Update post-launch), making the complete silence since November 2019 a significant departure. However, the last major update shipped over six years ago with no outstanding announced commitments visible in the store or news posts — no unreleased DLC, no roadmap promises, no named upcoming content. The plans mentioned at launch (networking revamp, etc.) were aspirational goals, not firm commitments, and given the extended silence and the game's very negative reception (36% positive from 117 reviews), it is most consistent with the evidence to treat the Khareni Update as the game's final content release.
There is no DLC listing, no season pass, and no developer statement explicitly promising named future content. The store description does not reference any planned additions. The game appears to have concluded its post-launch support with the November 2019 update.
Evidence
Khareni Update released, adding new enemies, a hacking mini-game, redesigned maps, and various improvements. This is the last recorded developer communication.
Developer announced launch out of Early Access and outlined aspirational post-launch goals including a networking revamp, more mission variety, additional weapons, and matchmaking improvements — but no firm release commitments or named DLC.

About this game
As an ECHO – a digital entity representing a human’s consciousness – you can transfer yourself into a Sentinel, a mechanized chassis built specifically for this purpose. Manufactured by various companies, each has been built to fulfill a different role on the battlefield.
Now that the Trident, humanity’s last colony ship and bastion of hope, has been overrun by an unknown alien force, it’s up to you to take it back and ensure humanity’s embryo’s survival.
Choose from several Sentinels, each offering unique capabilities.
Will you take the enemy head-on with a Moskva, deploying a barrier that allows your allies to take some cover? Or perhaps you’d prefer the nimble Mogami that can dash behind enemy lines, deliver a deadly spread of super-heated projectiles, and dash back to safety? Choose wisely and co-operate with your team, and humanity may still have a chance to start anew.
You also have at your disposal a wide array of weaponry and abilities. Mix a flamethrower, the “Guzzler”, with a “Javelin” railgun or a "Viper" hand cannon with the "Buster" plasma rifle. Throw a supply pack for your teammates and receive a repair station as a thank you. Add mission modifiers to raise the stakes in exchange for increased rewards. Fight through each of the ship’s sectors, and free them to unlock new weapons and abilities.
Customize your weapons by re-rolling their stats, and upgrade them once you’ve found enough tech. Unlock passive bonuses as you increase in rank, and become the legend that aliens fear.
Remember your training and what’s at stake. Humanity is counting on you, ECHO!
