Evaluation
Winter War 1939 was released on July 17, 2020 by a solo developer (Thorium Game Lab). The store description explicitly states "This game is a work in progress," which is the developer's own direct characterization of the game's status. The game is fully purchasable and not marked as Early Access on Steam, meaning it has reached its 1.0 launch state by the platform's standards. However, the developer's own language on the store page makes clear they do not consider the game finished. There are no DLC listings, news posts, or roadmap in the available data, so it is not possible to establish a history of major content releases, a release cadence, or identify any specific planned content. The sole basis for the ongoing development assessment is the developer's own store description statement. Without any news posts or updates to analyze, it is impossible to determine how actively development is proceeding or what specifically is being worked on — only that the developer has publicly described the game as unfinished.
Evidence
Developer states in the store description: 'This game is a work in progress,' indicating the game is not considered complete by its developer.

T26 & T28 tanks, Flame tanks, armored cars, aerosani snow-mobiles, trucks, sleds pulled by reindeer. Ski across the vast forests and lakes of Finland to outflank the enemy.
Fly Fokker XXI and defend the skies against Soviet air raids, or use rockets and bombs for daring ground attacks.
Join the Soviet Air force and pilot I-15 and I-16 fighters to gain air superiority, or fly Tupolev SB2 bombers to pound the Finnish defenses.
