After a successful launch on PC, Mac and Linux, today Hacknet has released a major localisation update to release the game in German, Russian, French, Spanish and Korean. To celebrate, Hacknet is currently 50% off until June 9th on Steam.
Since the release one of the most requested features from fans was to have a localised version of the game. Hacknet has a lot of text, which meant that we had to translate thousands of files, but the end result means that more people can enjoy our terminal-based hacking game in their native language.
From June 7th - 9th fans can purchase the standard, or deluxe version of the game that includes the soundtrack at a 50% discount. This is the largest discount we have offered on the game so far, and we think this update more than warrants it.
We are also working on the DLC which will offer 3-5 hours of new single-player content, including brand new programs to hack with, new computers and servers to explore, and some interesting contracts to complete. The DLC will launch alongside a brand new free update that will introduce mod support for the game. Currently the mod tools have been built, and are now in the hands of avid Hacknet community content creators.
Stay tuned for more information as we get closer to the release of the DLC later this year.
To celebrate this awesome new milestone,a bunch of the Surprise Attack Games catalogue is also on sale! Check out all the bargains, including Super Mutant Alien Assault, OTTTD and more by clicking here.

Bit, a hacker responsible for creating the most invasive security system on the planet, is dead. When he fails to reconnect to his system for 14 days, his failsafe kicks in, sending instructions in automated emails to a lone user. As that user, it’s up to you to unravel the mystery and ensure that Hacknet-OS doesn't fall into the wrong hands.
Exploring the volatile nature of personal privacy, the prevalence of corporate greed, and the hidden powers of hackers on the internet, Hacknet delivers a true hacking simulation, while offering a support system that allows total beginners get a grasp of the real-world applications and commands found throughout the game.
Features
Real Hacking
Based on actual UNIX commands, Hacknet focuses on real hacking, not the Hollywood-style version of it. This creates a truly immersive experience and puts players right in the thick of trying to break through the firewalls.
Unlock the mystery of Bit
A hacker is dead and the media reports don’t add up. When you are contacted by his “ghost” - an automated failsafe system - you’re drawn into the dark and murky world of underground hackers.
Full immersion
You are thrust into a persistent virtual world with no “levels” or obvious game elements to break the illusion. Follow the guidance of the emails from Bit or just dive down the rabbit hole, chasing down clues and snippets of information you find as you explore different systems.
Accessible but uncompromising
Whilst not holding your hand or dumbing down, the design of the game and the learning curve enables those with no prior terminal experience to enjoy it whilst delighting those in the know.
Killer tunes
Hack to the beat of a soundtrack featuring underground artists including Carpenter Brut (Hotline Miami) and Remi Gallego (AKA The Algorithm).
Soundtrack produced in association with The Otherworld Agency.
