Chapter 5 of Cyber Manhunt 2: New World is officially out! With that, we are out of the early access phase and now a full release!

Watch on YouTube

With the Chapter 5 update, the Cyber Manhunt 2: New World story has come to an end. To all players who have been waiting for this finale, we thank you for your patience and support, and we hope this chapter is satisfying for everyone.

We have also left an easter egg in Chapter 5... And players who have been closely observing our studio may have noticed a little hint that we left at the start of this year on Apple and Google App Stores.

We are delighted to have this opportunity to live the dream of becoming a game developer. Although there are some differences from the previous installment of Cyber Manhunt, we believe that its core is the same - that is, despite the set-up of a world full of bad people, the idea of love and goodwill is conveyed to everyone.

The "Cyber Manhunt" series started in 2021 and it has been 4 whole years since then.

We at the studio have been continuously growing: polishing the graphics, optimizing the gameplay, upgrading the UI, getting better at integrating social engineering into the game... And we have you, the players, to thank for being steadfast by our side.

At offline game exhibitions and events, we frequently meet players who come by to chat with us, and it always warms our heart to see you, and we become even more determined to get this game right.

The game touched many topics — online safety, information privacy, school bullying, loan sharks... We hope that through the "Cyber Manhunt" series, our players become better informed and we are able to help build a better and safer internet and world.

Even if the impact may be small, but we believe that as long as a single player has gained something from this game, then our efforts would not be for nothing.

As we carry this hope with us, we shall continue to work hard to send our message to the world. Regardless, we take pride in what we have made, and with the final chapter of this game, we can finally let out a small breath and give ourselves a pat on the back and a break.

Compared to the previous "Cyber Manhunt", this game has much more gameplay, drama, performance and voice acting. Hence, the cost of production has greatly increased and we are unable to keep the game price of Cyber Manhunt 2: New World the same as four years ago. After the launch period discount, we will have to increase the price of the game from USD 9.99 to USD 12.99 (and other regions will have a corresponding increase as well) so we hope you understand that this decision was not an easy one to make.

However, after our brief break, we will continue to update some extra content for free:

Cyber Manhunt 2: New World game soundtrack will be made available to everyone for free
Based on player feedback, we will continue to polish our free desktop pet DLC "Van's Partner in Crime" and add more functions to it

Once again, I would like to thank all players for the continuous love and support and you will enjoy the content above

Last but not least, we have joined up with another sci-fi story-driven game, Minds Beneath Us, which has an "Overwhelmingly Positive" review on Steam , to create a wonderful bundle just for the sci-fi lover in you! Get an extra 12% off when you purchase our games through the "Cyber Minds" bundle!

Cyber Detective, the New World is upon us, will you rise to meet it?

Greetings Cyber Detectives!

We have wonderful news to share with everyone! Our efforts have finally paid off and Chapter 5 will be ready for decoding on 21st January!

With the release of the final chapter of Cyber Manhunt 2: New World, we will graduate from Early Access and officially become a Full Release game! To celebrate this major milestone, we will have an all-time-best discount of 12% off, making it only USD 8.79 for two weeks!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2421410/Cyber_Manhunt_2_New_World__The_Hacking_Simulator/

For players of the first Cyber Manhunt, an even better deal of USD 7.47 awaits you when you purchase the game through the Cyber Manhunt bundle.

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/40936/Cyber_Manhunt_Complete_Saga/

Please note that after the discount period, the game's price will increase from USD 9.99 to USD 12.99 so make sure not to miss your chance to purchase it in the first two weeks of our official launch!

We are so grateful to all players who have been supporting us throughout the Early Access period, and we cannot wait to share the fruits of our labor with you on 21st January!

If we have no freedom or choice, can we even call ourselves "humans"?

Watch on YouTube

In the first four chapters, we bore witness to cyberbullying, loan sharks, human trafficking and other controversial social issues, and followed the trail of crimes into the mastermind's dangerous nest — and it is deeper and darker than you might think.

As we approach the final chapter, a new urgent mission becomes the spark that brings the truth to light — and it all starts with monitoring a Senior R&D Engineer Nathan Richter to investigate and eliminate all uncontrollable risk factors associated with him.

Why would someone with a fulfilling personal and professional life like Nathan Richter suddenly disappear without a trace? Is his mysterious disappearance linked to chip implanted in his brain? Once again, your intellect and social engineering is put to the test as you uncover the manipulation and resistance hidden behind the social order.

Get ready for the final chapter on 21 January 2025!

Hello Cyber Detectives!

Chapter 5 is currently under rapid development, but before its release, we’d like to offer you a little appetizer to enjoy in the meantime. We hope you Cyber Detectives will love it—

Van's Partner in Crime - Free Desktop Pet DLC Update

Remember the adorable cat from Chapter 4? Ever since it made its debut, we've been inundated with requests for a desktop pet version.
Well, it's finally here! Enter the game and enjoy some cyber kitty companionship—just be careful not to stare at it too long, or time might slip away unnoticed!

Since the desktop pet wasn’t part of our original plan, and we had to develop it without delaying Chapter 5, only the basic features have been implemented for now (but it’s still functional and fun!).

In fact, once the desktop pet was confirmed for production, the team got quite excited and brainstormed many small features to include. After Chapter 5 is completed, and if time permits, we’ll continue to improve its functionality. Please feel free to share your ideas with us—we greatly appreciate your feedback!

After updating the game, you can access the desktop pet page in-game and summon While True (tears of the programmer) to keep you company!
P.S.: Due to system limitations on Mac, some features are restricted. For a better desktop pet experience, we recommend that Mac players use windowed mode.

“Cyber Operatives” Bundle Now Available, Cyber Manhunt 2 at 10% Off

Next, we have some exciting news for you! We’ve partnered with "The Operator" production team to bring you the “Cyber Operatives” Bundle! This bundle includes both Cyber Manhunt 2 and The Operator, and you can enjoy a 10% discount when purchasing the bundle!
In addition, both Cyber Manhunt 2 and The Operator will soon have individual discounts on their base games, so be sure to keep an eye out for those prices as well!

Hey Cyber Detectives!

We’re thrilled to announce that the Chapter 4 major content update that you’ve been eagerly waiting for is finally here!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2421410/Cyber_Manhunt_2_New_World__The_Hacking_Simulator/

To celebrate this major update, we’re offering a special 10% discount on the game, so don’t miss this perfect opportunity to experience an intense cyber detective adventure at a fantastic price!

Chapter 4 Story Overview

Picking up right where Chapter 3 left off, the tables have turned. You, now a liberated AI detective, have broken free from Titan’s imposing grip. Teaming up with Van, the mysterious hacker that returned at the climax of Chapter 3, you face a critical question: can he truly be trusted, or is this another layer of deception? Time will unravel these tangled threads.

A New Challenge: The Case of CαThγ

Your main task in this chapter is to investigate CαThγ, an AI digital life streamer spiraling out of control. Originally, CαThγ was created to represent Cathy Wharton, a 14-year-old celebrity forced to step back from the public eye due to a tragic accident. Titan has dramatically reintroduced her to the world using advanced AI technology, but behind her renewed persona lurks a dark and murky tale. This investigation takes a sudden turn when Cathy's live stream is abruptly terminated after she mentions "Paradise Isle”.

What secrets does this elusive place harbor? Are the swirling rumors about its high-profile visitors – from famous actors to prominent politicians – true? It's up to you to crack the code, connect the dots, and expose the hidden agendas lurking within the upper echelons of society. The balance of justice and corruption rests squarely in your hands.

New Hacking Tactics In Chapter 4

Chapter 4 not only continues the engaging and tense social engineering and hacking simulation but also expands your toolkit with a variety of new hacking tactics. Get ready to penetrate classified government systems, crack encrypted satellite communications, and hack into the digital vaults of an online casino, among other challenges. Prepare to dive deeper into the thrilling world of cyber investigation!

As always, we welcome your valuable feedback and suggestions as we continue to improve and optimize the game to provide a better gaming experience for everyone.

In addition, we’d be grateful if you could help us spread the word and share your excitement with your friends.
