Hello everyone,
We’re thrilled to announce the arrival of our very first major update since Early Access launched! This update is packed with fresh new content and improvements inspired by your feedback. Here’s a breakdown of everything new:
💀 A New Challenger Has Appeared: The Kisser
Prepare to face a new nightmare and meet The Kisser! This terrifying little monster is stealthy and loves close contact with anyone foolish enough to get near. Watch your back burglars, because you won’t see the Kisser coming until it’s too late!
🖱️ Custom Rebinding Options
By popular demand, we’ve added custom key rebinding! Now, you can tailor your controls and dive into the game with a setup that feels best for you.
🏛️ Auction House Map Rotation
Have you memorized every hallway of the Auction House? Well, not anymore! We’ve updated the available maps with a new set featuring 32 brand-new layouts for the Auction House. Every heist will feel fresh and challenging all over again!
🔧 Optimization and bug fixes
This update also includes some bug fixes and general improvements. Among them are an optimization of item spawn points on the maps, an enhancement of the Banshee's AI specifically aimed at resolving a bug that could lead to its excessive camping, and the correction of situations that could cause softlocks, like during the safe opening animation. All these changes aim to improve the overall gameplay experience. You can find the complete patchnote just below.
✨ And what's next?
We’re deeply grateful for all the feedback and suggestions you’ve shared with us since the launch. The team is actively working on the next big update planned for the holiday season, and we’re excited to tease the arrival of a brand-new map environment (yes, we heard you 😉) with dozens of layouts, along with new contract objectives, a new monster and even more surprises.
Thank you for being part of this incredible journey with us! Let us know what you think of The Kisser and good luck on your heists!
