Hello Bandits,
The wait is over! A brand-new Playtest build of BANDIT KNIGHT, our stylish stealth-action game, is now live on Steam! Check out the latest trailer below.
Playtest 2 Trailer
You’re invited to jump in and try it out right now. But before you do… let’s take a sneak peek at what’s new in this update! 👀
New Stage: Harbor City 🏙️
Welcome to Harbor City, a vibrant seaside metropolis buzzing with merchants, chatter, and... suspicious activity. Why does the city feel tense beneath all the glitz and glamor? Who’s pulling the strings behind the scenes?
Wander through the bustling streets, gather intel (and supplies), and team up with your justice-seeking crew to uncover the truth and restore peace to the harbor.
First Look: Skill Tree System 🌳
Now you can unlock new abilities through the all-new Skill Tree! It’ll cost you a bit of coin, but every upgrade will make your next heist smoother and slicker. Think of it as reinvesting your “borrowed” income into your criminal career. 😎
First Look: Warning Letters System 📜
Collect special warning letters during your missions and boldly announce your next heist in advance!
Broadcasting your intent gives you useful bonuses... but might also make things a bit more difficult.
Sometimes, the effects are weird, unexpected, or just too tempting not to click. 😆
Will you take the risk for more bonuses? It's all up to you.
First Look: Equipment Crafting 🧵
Blueprints may be hidden in side quests, secret areas, or well-guarded corners of each level. Bring them back to your base and you’ll be able to craft special gear to elevate your thief aesthetic and performance. Stealing is a "craft", after all. 🍷
Over 650 Collectibles (and Counting!) 🎁
We’re not going to ask how you got your hands on so much treasure. We’re just here to give you even more. Take some time to read the item descriptions—they won’t boost your stats, but they might boost your joy. And isn't that the whole point? 😊
That's most of the new features covered for this new version! This new Playtest takes around 45 minutes to complete...unless you’re the type who checks every nook and cranny. Then it might take a while. 👀
Save File Reminder📌
You can’t save during missions! Your progress auto-saves only when you return to the hideout. So make sure you’re well-prepared before heading out.
WePlay Culture Expo
We’ll also be attending WePlay Expo 2025 in Shanghai this November 22–23. If you’re there, come visit us and try the latest version in person. We hear there might even be special gifts for those who do.
Location: Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center – Hall H3, Booth B43
That’s all for now! Thanks again for all your support. If you enjoyed the new Playtest, don’t forget to share your thoughts on the Steam community or on social media! And if you haven’t already, be sure to wishlist BANDIT KNIGHT to stay up to date on all future heists: 👉
