Game time

Public BETA begins September 7

‹ All news

Hi all,

Our Private BETA commenced in mid July and is going great, with several dozen bug fixes and updates already launched. We're gearing up to open up the doors to a Public BETA and we are happy to announce it will begin on Monday, September 7.

Starting on September 7, the game will reset and a Public BETA round will begin. You will be able to login with your existing account details.

It has taken a long time to get to this place, but the entire game has been reworked. The UI is entirely new, the backend systems have been overhauled for every feature, progression has been reworked and there are new features everywhere.

Missions

There are 10 playable Missions in our first campaign storyline "The Moretti Rise". The underlying Missions system have been rebuilt from the ground up to be flexible, dynamic and we can build new ones in days - not months.

Missions can hook into all other game systems (and new mini-games) with ease. This simplifies things from a development perspective and allows us to provide new content faster.

We're also proud to be showing off the completely redesign desktop layout in full for the first time.

Progression and Power Users

Progression has been reworked from the ground-up and several more changes are planned, including:

  1. 3 new ranks and changes to Grand Don
  2. More challenging ranking overall
  3. More rewarding progression in features
  4. Making leveling rewards worthwhile at any game stage and level of individual wealth
  5. Monitor and chart your progression, cash, bullets and rank on the brand new Stat Tracker page
  6. Monitor and chart your rank and power on all the Leaderboards over time

Some of these changes are complete and others are still being refined as data is gathered during BETA.

We've also put power users at the forefront, with dozens of features making it easier to organize and play faster. These include:

  • Quickly see players you've recently interacted with
  • Monitor your friends and crew member's rank and power levels
  • All places which require username inputs allow you to quickly select friends, crew members, recent interactions and favorited players
  • Favorite players on their profiles and have them appear first in all username inputs
  • Watch forum topics to keep an eye on them
  • Customize your UI, on both desktop and mobile
  • Supercharge your mobile Actions menu by pinning pages, players or crews

Thank you, and see you on BETA soon!

Mark & the staff team
