Evaluation
Windbound launched on August 28, 2020 and received three free DLC updates over the following months: the first on October 30, 2020 (adding Endless Voyage mode, Photo Mode, and new items), the second on December 21, 2020 (adding Free Sailing Mode, new towers, and the Night Stalker items), and the third on February 18, 2021 (adding The Loathing, Forsaken enemies, new combat moves, and new items). The developer published a roadmap in late 2020 covering roughly six months of planned content, and the third DLC appears to represent the completion of that roadmap. No further content has been announced or released after February 2021, and the last developer communication of any kind was on February 24, 2021 — a promotional post for the third DLC. The store description contains no references to ongoing seasons, future content, or additional planned updates, and no unreleased DLC is listed. With the roadmap fulfilled and more than five years of silence since the final update, the game's content cycle is complete.
Evidence
Promotional post for the third DLC (Rise of the Forsaken). Last official communication from the developer/publisher — no further posts after this date.
Third and final free DLC released, adding The Loathing, Forsaken enemies, new combat moves, new items, and challenge towers — the most substantial update to the game.

About this game
The Forbidden Islands are Calling, Unlock their Secrets
Shipwrecked alone on an uncharted island, explore, adapt and navigate the land and perilous seas to stay alive.
As Kara, you are a warrior, caught at sea in a fierce storm, adrift from your tribe. Thrown from your boat, at the mercy of the turbulent waters, you are tossed on to the shores of the Forbidden Islands, a mysterious paradise.
With no boat, no food or tools, just the will and skill to survive, uncover this beautiful island’s rich resources. Craft tools and weapons to hunt and defend yourself against nature itself with its wild and fantastical creatures.
Whilst exploring further islands and the scattered ruins across their lands, secrets of the past and glimpses of the future are revealed. Unravel the mystery behind them all and you may find more than just your way home.
Uncover the Secrets Within
Embark on a personal journey and discover the history of the idyllic Forbidden Islands; each holding the key to a mystery and unexpected revelations.
Explore As Far As The Eye Can See
Head towards the horizon, advancing across the islands, each with their own diverse wildlife, landscapes and challenges to face.
Live Off The Land
Scavenge the islands’ untamed terrain for resources that you can use to craft a full range of tools and weapons to hunt wildlife and upgrade your boat. You must set sail when resources become scarce.
Build Your Perfect Seacraft
Your boat is your key companion on this journey, carefully craft your own custom sailing vessel to take on the treacherous waters, traversing from one island to the next. Design your boat to battle tempestuous winds, monstrous waves, and deadly sea creatures."Are these done yet?
