Evaluation
We Were Here Forever launched on May 10, 2022 as a complete co-op puzzle adventure. The developer, Total Mayhem Games, continued to polish the game after launch, culminating in a substantial Patch 1.2 on December 21, 2023 — described as incorporating approximately 200 enhancements covering performance, audio, visuals, and bug fixes. No additional story content or DLC for the game itself has been announced or is pending; both listed DLC items (a Fan Edition and a Soundtrack) were released on launch day.
The studio's activity since then has been focused on other projects in the We Were Here series rather than expanding this title. In September 2023, Total Mayhem Games released a separate bite-sized spin-off called We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip. In February 2026, they announced the next mainline entry, We Were Here Tomorrow, and followed that with a public demo in April 2026. A July 2025 announcement confirmed the earlier trilogy of We Were Here games is coming to Nintendo Switch. A January 2025 studio update noted the team has grown and relocated to a new Rotterdam office.
All of this developer activity points to a healthy, expanding studio — but the expansions are to the broader series, not to We Were Here Forever specifically. The game itself reached its final polished state with the December 2023 patch, and no further content for it has been signaled.
Evidence
Patch 1.2 released with ~200 improvements including DLSS support, major engine upgrade, reworked audio/visuals, and extensive bug fixes — the most substantial post-launch update for this title.
We Were Here Forever launched with 12+ hours of gameplay, 22 puzzles, and 6 chapters, alongside a Fan Pack (artbook, soundtrack, wallpapers).

About this game
You and your fellow prisoner are trapped in the realm of Castle Rock - were you betrayed, or simply not that clever? To escape, you must explore the sinister castle for puzzles and plot your escape together. Secrets and riddles are hidden in the shadows. Just be aware that nothing is what it seems in this mysterious Antarctic adventure. Can you two escape together, or will you be trapped… forever?
Locked up in the dungeons, deep in the bowels of Castle Rock, you and a fellow prisoner must seek a way out and return to stand again beneath the icy Antarctic skies - but escaping this nightmare will not be so easy, let alone escaping the castle itself. Freeing yourselves from your cells and escaping the Keep is only the beginning - but does one truly escape Castle Rock? Fresh mysteries await, and you’ll have to make some choices about how to proceed. Your journey leads from the dark prison through the royal halls to the outside. Outside the Keep, you will discover the story of Rockbury, it’s inhabitants, and plans of a resistance formed against the King to escape this icy place. Hope will lead you on to an eerie Graveyard and have you descend down into the dark waters of the Foundry.
You two have been brought here for a purpose. You might even be the missing piece of a puzzle set in motion long ago, in a time long forgotten. But someone, or something, desperately seeks to solve that puzzle, by any means necessary. Only an unshakeable bond with your partner will give you any hope of survival in the face of such dreadful desire…
