ESA SHIELD last posted a patch note 10 months ago (Dec 10, 2025: Early Access Patch 0.2.33 (opens in new tab)).
It got about one update a year over the last year and is rarely updated (6/100). 1 of the last 12 months had at least one update day. Not enough of a cadence to call it regular.
Yes, it looks that way. There have been no builds or patch notes in over 180 days, or none on record at all.
ESA SHIELD: 1 update in the last 12 months. The chart shows the last 12 months, including months with zero patch notes. Counts are dated patch and update posts, not branch builds.
