Hello Heisters,
Today is the day we have all been waiting for; as a studio gearing up for our first PC game “ROGUE HEIST” to be launched and as a community, the trust and patience that you guys have shown to us is what makes everything in between and after worth it.
Rogue Heist is all set to release on Steam on 19th August, 2019 and we are more than excited to finally share it with you. Since there are so many of you who have been with us in this journey for more than a year or so, we would like to take this moment to reflect and share all that we have been through to reach here with you.
Let’s start with the firsts of first and like any other studio releasing its first game we too thought that the release is going to be that one moment when everything will be done and ready but truth be told, we had too many of those. It all began with the first beta we hosted in July 2018 and planned to release in August 2018 but everything changed after the feedback we received. Everyone who participated in the beta had something to say and we are more than thankful for all the feedback we got because Rogue Heist has evolved only because of the constant feedback it has got.
Since then, we have constantly improved the game and even kept an open mind regarding the game design to incorporate changes to make the game better than before. We firmly believe in one thing and one thing only; anything that helps make the game better gets a go ahead. In all this time we have planned to release the game numerous times only to face another snag forcing us to push the release.
Our hearts are swelled with Joy and pride this time when we say, WE ARE READY. We are ready and thrilled to share with you the fact that Rogue Heist is finally coming on PC on 19th August, 2019. While experiencing our share of firsts, we have been able to make a small yet close knit community, committed enough to support Rogue Heist which keeps us going.
These last two years of development are easily the most nerve-wracking, exciting days that we at Lifelike have experienced. From last minute technical issues to persistent bugs to supporters who have held their end all along and critics who have given their best; without all you out there we wouldn’t have been here at all. The expectations of the community kept us running and we really want to exceed and excel ahead of them. Our goal was to make a game that was fun and exciting and we believe we did just that.
We initially planned Rogue Heist to be a premium game but after a month long beta we hosted in June 2019 & the feedback we received, it became obvious that Rogue Heist must release as a Free-To-Play title. The only reason for taking this decision is to get enough player base in the game, enabling everyone to find a match easily. Hopefully this is going to solve this challenge that we faced in the beta. For all those who paid for Standard, Premium, or Ultimate Edition are going to get special characters as unlocks while every new player is only getting a standard edition of the game while everything else has to be unlocked. There will be a detailed blog/ FAQs regarding all possible things that you might want answered in regards to going FTP from a paid game. Please follow us on our social media channels or discord for updates and announcements while we will also put up these FAQs on our website & in the game too.
Rogue Heist is never going to be a PTW game and we take special care to make sure that the balance is intact. Having said so much, the game will still have bugs, balance issues, creative differences, possible game breaking bugs and other technical issues which we can only face when the game goes live.
From here on Rogue Heist doesn’t only belong to us, it belongs to you equally; it’s going to be shared equally because that’s the beauty of the gaming community, whatever it shall become from hereon, we are ready to share that with you. We hope Rogue Heist is something that can evolve and adapt to be with you over many years to come and we are ready to do whatever it takes to make it.
Let’s embark on this journey together and see what the future holds for us. Again, we thank each and everyone of you for being in this journey till now and welcome the new Heisters on board. Let it all begin, Here’s to Rogue Heist.
The Beta will happening between 14th June - 17th June and servers will be live at the following times:
While access to this beta is restricted, we thought we'd let you know it's happening as the chances are you'll be seeing new gameplay related posts here on Steam, as well as footage from the beta on YouTube and various streaming platforms.
This beta will feature the following things:
We are busy Suiting up for beta and in final polishing of the game. These current updates are aimed at opening up a two way channel between you all and us so that we can develop a community that communicates openly. To speed up things a bit, this is just a warm-up to keep you posted with you our steps from hereon.
It would be great to have you guys on board already as we embark on this journey. Rogue Heist is our first game and so every milestone we cross is exciting for us, we would love to share it with each one of you. You can join Rogue Heist community here on Steam or on 
While Heist Mode is the game's namesake, it's not the only game mode that Rogue Heist has to offer. There are also Run ‘n Gun, and Gang War with Campaign and Co-op versus AI planned for the near future. Don't want to deal with hacking trucks and protecting teammates? Run 'n Gun is more your style. This 10 player free for all will drop you into a map where you have to depend on your wits and trigger finger to earn the victory. Want to shoot people, still be on a team, but not worry about capturing things? Gang War is more of your style. This mode scales between 12-16 players split between two teams pitted against each other in a race to 75 kills. Whichever team gets the kills on the table first, or has the most kills at the end of 10 minutes, wins.
With four distinct classes, you can vary your gameplay. Like shooting hot lead into people up close and personal? Look no further than the assault. If you prefer to stay on the fringe of relative safety and shoot your victims from afar, then the sniper is the class for you. Wana be the guy who steals for your team, be the Hacker! Or are you Mr. dependable in your team? Support is the way to go.
There are currently four factions with more planned for the future. Do you fancy yourself as a fashionably dressed Suit or more of a street smart Hipster? Suits are stealthy and intelligent while the Hipsters are fashionable and aggressive. If black is the primary color in your wardrobe, you might be more comfortable as a member of the Deathlords or the iron-wielding Hammers. The Deathlords are reckless and ruthless killers while the Hammers ex-armed forces and trained killers. You can also customize your look with different skins for your character regardless of faction and weapons as well as add custom emotes and dances.
Players will be rewarded for their efforts in each match and awarded experience points based upon their heist ratings and their individual performance. They can also gain recognition on global leader boards and participate in ongoing and seasonal events hosted by the team at Lifelike Studios.
Look for Rogue Heist to launch later this summer on PC. In the meantime, make sure to follow us on
