Daedalus Bloc Fixes

The 10 mission storyline for Daedalus Bloc is the largest one we've released yet, and it has had its fair share of content bugs to iron out. Nothing that has left any saved games permanently hung, mostly just interruptions in your ability to play on in the storyline. Tonight we've hit a few big patches for Daedalus:

• You might be stuck in an infinite conversation about CLUSTER DROP mission - this will not continue!
• You might be stuck on the first map of the CLOCKWORK RESCUE mission with a broken terminal. If you are, next time you load your game, you'll find yourself back in the safehouse with the story leading up to the mission about to start (again).
• If your Quant disappeared in the second mission of GOVERNANCE DUST-UP, you should be good to go. You can either play through the level as is, or restart the level and the quant will appear correctly at your starting location.

Invisible or Missing Contacts

Another bug resulted in some Hardened Target and Infiltrate and Download missions being offered by an invisible contact. This was confusing and not great - now it is fixed. If you already have a conversation or mission offered by such a contact, that will be the case until it is finished and the next one will be normal.

Black Site Lab Bridge

If you've been hitting any issues with the bridge in the new Black Site Lab level, this update will fix them up for you. The bridge terminal is working and once raised it can officially be crossed.

Nuke II (FAS) and Others

There have been some longstanding issues with some of the Nuke programs having wires crossed. This included Nuke II (FAS) and we've now unwound these. The program shows its special stripes and should load correctly during hacking now.

Endless Map Fixes

We're constantly working to keep up with little tweaks and fixes to maps. We fixed some oddly floating can props, some open field spawn issues, some places where cover shields didn't appear correctly, and more.

Explore the dystopian cyberpunk future of 2231 as you command a company of shadow mercenaries working for the highest bidder. Cyber Knights wraps a world full of consequential story choices and significant character development around a rich core of classic and new mechanics. The game combines tactical elements like stealth, hacking and tense combat with strategic features like base building, contact management and in-depth squad customization. Cyber Knights invites you to jack in and explore a unique cyberpunk world and the immersive, human stories of your merc team in the dark future of 2231.

• Turn-based Tactics: Deep and tactical gameplay using a turn-based, gridless third-person combat simulator. Cover! Overwatch! Recoil!
  
• Dynamic Cyberpunk Story: Unique interwoven narrative with depth, meaningful player choices and hundreds of hours of gameplay
  
• Sophisticated Missions: Combine stealth, hacking and combat across multi-stage missions. Gain pre-mission advantages from Contacts
  
• Endless of Builds: Experiment with endless combos of Jobs, cyberware, weapons and gadgets to build the perfect team
  
• Evolving Characters: Your team evolves as the story, your choices and battle leave lasting wounds, add Traits and threaten to strip their humanity
  
• Safehouse Base Building: Construct a custom safehouse and upgrade rooms such as weapon shop, hund kennel and medical bay.

Cyber Knights strikes a unique tone with a futuristic setting that has passed through the messy near-future to arrive at dystopian 2231. Man-made environmental disasters have ravaged our biosphere. Artificial consciousness has been created, subsequently murdered, and then strictly outlawed at a global level. Megacorporate colonies and research stations dot the solar system from Venus to Jupiter. Quantum computing has radically altered the digital landscape and the very meaning of privacy and digital security.

The game's threaded stories originate from both inside and outside your team -- weaving together threads from your hired mercenaries, criminal connections and history that just won’t die. These stories operate on three interconnected and at times overlapping levels -- personal stories (your team), contact stories (your employers) and event stories (city-wide).

And every choice you make and mission you run will impact your character's permanent Traits, changing them in both subtle and big ways. Their stories and your choices combine to create a unique narrative for every game, every Knight and every team.


The second game our studio created, Cyber Knights RPG, took hundreds of thousands of gamers on an gritty cyberpunk roller-coaster, trying to get rich or go down shooting. The classic Cyber Knights has always had a huge following within our community and we are xcited to come back to the world and stories we started creating there so many years ago with an all new game, Cyber Knights: Flashpoint.

We’re weaving together the genre’s classic themes with the unique setting and history of Cyber Knights to create some of the most cutting, gripping and human stories we’ve ever told. Betrayal, sacrifice, trading away humanity for an advantage, living fast and dying young, revenge and testing the bonds of friendship and trust -- it's all here under the New Boston dome.
