Heisters,
It Has Begun!
The Hoxton’s Housewarming Party has started and you’re all invited! The party goes on for 10 whole days and every day we release more free content. Have fun!
New Difficulties
First off we’re releasing two new difficulties, Mayhem and One Down! The Mayhem difficulty is acting as a ladder for players who feel that the difficulty threshold between OVERKILL and Death Wish is too high.
The One Down difficulty is the final difficulty and is made for players who sees an impossible task and says “challenge accepted”. In the One Down difficulty players can only go down once before going into custody. Good luck!
Rebalanced Difficulties
Not only have we added two new difficulties, we’ve also taken the time to make all of the difficulties feel more gradual so the choice of level doesn’t affect the outcome as much.
Oh, and Bulldozers have started running and can't be stunned.
For more details, check out the website here!
Difficulty Stream Q&A
OVERKILL_Jules will be streaming and answer questions about the New Difficulties!

Big Patch
Together with the update we're also patching the game with a ton of bug fixes! Check out the changelog below.
Nine More Days!
This is just one of 10 days of free content. See you tomorrow!
Best,
OVERKILL_Hampe
