Knights and mercs, we are following the big merc-driven story update with an update expanding the matrix, improving translations, fixing some Talent descriptions, hitting some key balance points for early-game and fixing your F10s.

Thanks to everyone checking out these updates, playing the game and especially to those who have left a review to help us keep going ːsteamhappyː

Since you'll always be seeing a lot of updates around here, we want to reiterate our saved game policy so everyone understands our commitment to your games. No saved game will ever be invalidated by an update. All new content and features will be added immediately to all saved games (with the reasonable exception of New Game options). You never have to restart if you don't want to. This is a studio commitment that we have made and kept for many years and games. We stand by it. So do not stress about the deluge of updates that is coming your way - heist on my good heisters.

We are on a roll right now, expanding the templates within the matrix to increase the variation and challenge level in any given matrix host you might come across.

With Update #77, we've focused on matrix hosts that can include SCUs and expanded the catalog with 4 new templates. We are also continuing to keep the pressure to get more Access Nodes and Sluices nodes across the matrix set so that they are seen more often.

An Access Gate needs to be spiked like a CPU or APU before you can leave it, so be sure your programs are loaded up and you're ready for a fight before entering. With Slucie Nodes, all of its connections are one way - either IN or OUT - which forces special pathing decisions and often creates "one-way doors" in the Matrix.

We also fixed a few more F10s where a Sluice might preventing access to part if its host.

For a while, the Talent durations for all Talents that create persistent AOE zones on the map had issues if you started to upgrade their duration, they could show as incorrectly extended like 15 Turns (!!). With this update, we have corrected these durations so that they stay reasonable, which has helped Talents like JTAC, Strike Zone, Venom Trap, Tox-Cloud, White Noise and many others.

We've pushed a few more Power Level limits into the game to help content appear at appropriate times, with specific focus on certain types of stories and challenges not appearing too early.

• Certain Head Hunters, including Le Sidewinder and his cadre of mecha infantry bots, has been limited to Team Power Level 4 or higher

• Power Play storylines have been limited in all forms to Team Power Level 3 or higher

With over 500 changes across the languages, this update has a specially big set of improvements to the translation as our translation partner has wrapped up another round of LQA and we have continued to keep the pressure up on processing your F10s and improving the translation text.

A huge thanks to everyone playing and posting F10s to help us laser focus on what needs to be improved.

When we announced and launched our first set of languages - we always knew that if things went well, we would start to work to expand that localization footprint. Today we are excited to share that we have started the localization project for Simplified Chinese version of 《赛博骑士：闪点行动 Cyber Knight: Flashpoint》 with our translation partner.

If you know Simplified Chinese -

We are currently seeking players who have put in hours with Cyber Knights: Flashpoint who know Simplified Chinese and would be able to comment on and review the language's glossary and slices of translations in the game over the next couple of weeks.

If you are already versed in Cyber Knights terminology and know Simplified Chinese, please help us get the best result by joining our Discord (http://discord.gg/tresebrothers) and pinging @Liviana about it!

For other languages -

We are continuing to look at further translation projects based on wishlists received, so thank you all for expressing your interest, posting and sharing the game. We also plan to add support for community translations when modding support is released later this year.

- Added 4 new matrix templates to increase variety and challenge levels within SCU hosts

- Fixed issues with JTAC, Strike Zone, Venom Trap and other persistent AOE areas with duration changing suddenly during training

- Fixed bugs where certain armors had high Blueprint output count

- Fixed bug with Sluice node in one matrix template where you could not access it

- Added Power Level filter to come Head Hunters (such as Le Sidewinder with all mecha helpers) to avoid them appearing too early

- Further prevented challenging Power Play storylines to appear before Team Power Level 3 through any path

- Moved the HUD pop up when completing crafting to the bottom of the screen to block less

- Fixed death tags showing up incorrectly for dead characters

- Improved some cover for chain link fence and corrugated metal props

- Improved over 500 string translations with better word choice, clarity and plurality especially in compound effect strings

Knights, we are excited to hit a new milestone with our merc-driven storylines - now when mercs who have deactivated deltaware implants hit 60% Loyalty, storylines may begin to appear where they work with a splicer to scheme how to steal the things needed to get that one-of-a-kind implant re-activated. This update pairs with the previous "Depths of Loyalty" update from October to wrap up this set of merc-driven story content.

In translations land - we are now releasing the European Spanish translation, are announcing the upcoming Simplified Chinese translation 《赛博骑士：闪点行动 Cyber Knight: Flashpoint》and are looking for community members to help in the review process (see below). Thank you to all who have provided feedback on the other newly released translations! We've provided UI improvements where needed and accepted many suggestions.

If you are enjoying the updates and constant improvements, please take a moment to leave a review! ːsteamhappyː

This new type of new merc-driven storylines allows you to re-activate deltaware on those mercs that have dead weight implants installed. You may have selected this option from the merc's recruitment interview and been left with a cybernetic slot occupied by a deactivated implant. Now, by working with a splicer, these mercs have hatched a scheme to get this powerful deltaware re-activated and back into the action.

If a merc with a de-activated deltaware reaches 60%+ Loyalty and your Team Power Level is at 5 or higher, these conditions can kick off a new story trajectory and a high-risk multi-stage mission against one of the shadowy biolabs of the faction who implanted the cybernetics. You can raise their Loyalty through merc Limit Breaks[cyberknightswiki.tresebrothers.com] for a number of long-term benefits as well.

If you are able to successfully complete the mission, the splicer and merc will complete the process and re-activate the cybernetic to unleash a one-of-a-kind and uniquely powerful cybernetic implant.

Currently these storylines are limited to mercs who have made this choice during their recruitment interview, but we will be upgrading and expanding the availability of this very cool character arc in future updates.

While the big translation release last week added Spanish (LATAM) for Latin American players, this update adds the European Spanish translation to the game. Thanks for all your support and helping us get to this exciting day!

As always, the best way to share feedback for anything in Cyber Knights remains the F10 system (or on Steam Deck, left stick click).

Your feedback is automatically tagged with your language and put into a special bucket in our system to help us categorize and process issues with translation and how the UI might not always handle extended text due to translation perfectly.

We will be processing your F10s with determination and diligence to improve the game in every way we can.

In previous versions, you could cause your Knight to end up in a very odd state if you started New Game, quit without finishing it, and then started again. In the exact right order of operations could result in your Knight being a Knight + Hacker multi-class but having the cybernetics for a Wireghost. This would leave your Knight unable to upgrade or uninstall your cyberware and therefore you could not change your multi-class setup either.

This is now resolve for all games that have the issue - just open the game and you'll find your Knight has been switched to a Cortex Wetware and you have full options again.

With Update #76, we are continuing to work diligently to address the feedback you've sent in by F10 on translations and places where the UI is not working correctly when the text gets too long or you increase Font Size too high.

We have completed another big run of F10s here, fixing bulk sell window, the confirmation windows, Talent description pop ups and more.

In addition, we're going to have a constant and steady drip of improvements to the translations as we hear more from our community about anything we can improve. The updates range the gap from missing translations to plurality, gender or just natural tone for a dialog line, etc.

A huge thanks to everyone playing and posting F10s to help us laser focus on what needs to be improved.
