AN URGENT MESSAGE FROM SHERIFF NORRIS!

Thousands of $$$ of Cutting-Edge Hardware Found! Items Believed To Be Tied to Historical Heist! Rewards On Offer!

Rockay City, August 30th, 2023. 505 Games and the Rockay City Police Department are proud to report the seizure of gaming hardware worth thousands of dollars, after they were linked to money stolen in a high-profile heist 30 years ago.

The heist is thought to be the work of criminal mastermind Travis Baker. Known for his uncanny resemblance to actor Michael Madsen, Baker coordinated a series of heists throughout the 1990s. The money was thought to be gone for good, but a recent warehouse raid by the RCPD led to the seizure of a vast cache of gaming hardware and promotional merchandise. Forensic accountants suggest the value of the goods seized match perfectly with the total stolen in the infamous robbery*. Recovered items include:

  • 1 x Laptop from Intel (Razer Blade 16 Gaming Laptop)
  • 1 x Alienware AW2523HF Gaming Monitor ‘Dark Side of the Moon’
  • 1 x Combined package of:
    • Alienware 510H headset, Lunar Light,
    • 1 x Alienware 510K keyboard, Lunar Light,
    • 1 x Alienware 510M mouse, Dark Side of the Moon
  • 10 x Intel i7 CPUs
  • 10 x mophie snap+ juice packs
  • 10 x Majority Audio Bowfell Soundbars
  • 50 x Crime Boss on PS5
  • 50 x Crime Boss on Xbox
  • 30 x Crime Boss hat, T-Shirt and badge combo packs

The RCPD fears Baker will not take this loss lying down. Citizens are advised to follow 505’s social channels throughout September for further information. Rewards will be offered as an incentive.

In addition to the stash of gadgets, our detectives have been analysing this video and encourage all citizens in the strongest terms not to engage with, or honor the requests of this incredibly dangerous and volatile individual. Stay on the right side of the law, citizen!

Office of Sheriff C Norris (President of the Rockay Chamber of Kung-fu)

UPDATE 3.0 IS OUT NOW!

Bosses of Rockay City. Update 3.0 is available on all platforms right blumming now!

There is a ton of stuff that’s been added to this update – new environments, improved stealth gameplay and randomized mission chains.

Take a look below at just a few of the major additions to this update.

IMPROVEMENTS

  • New scenarios and environments
    • Those missions appear in both the campaign and Crime Time and provide variety in both gameplay and environments.
  • Earlier respect levels
    • Gas Station.

  • Mid-to-late respect levels
    • Car Dealer
    • Truck Convoy

  • Improved stealth gameplay
    • Stronger stealth takedown
    • Balanced AI perception and reactions
    • Rebalance of silencers
  • Shuffle mission chains mode in Crime Time 
    • This is a new way to play missions: Randomized mission chains which come in three challenging difficulty tiers, that give greater rewards and respect points when fully completed
  • “New Blood” Urban Legend difficulty balance
    • Adjusted difficulty for first Urban Legend chain
  • Character missions’ persistency
    • The player’s progression through individual character missions is remembered through campaign runs, and a unique character dying in their character mission does not cause the plotline to reset – in the next campaign run, it resumes after the last successful character mission instead (or gives the maxed-out character if it was completed)
    • The plotline only resets when the unique character dies through regular means, and not in their character mission
  • Added option to kick/mute/examine profiles in missions in Multiplayer
    • This is dependent on the platform. Kicking is only available to hosts
  • Turf war Defence can be played without soldiers
    • Touchdown can go alone to the Defence mission

For those of you who are new readers, RockON Magazine is Rockay City’s number one, two and three top magazine – all about Rockay City.

Anyway, you are in for a treat in this months magazine!

The latest 2.0 update from Crime Boss: Rockay City arrived. If you haven’t already updated, make sure you do! And also what’s this? Free Tactical Weapons Pack DLC? Hold your horses, there’s a new gun in town! Or four…

Let’s get ready to RockON, Rockay!

Gordy Loardy,

Editor in Chief, RockON Magazine

Set Your Sights on These!

Hello, I’m Fran Anne McGann

The new Tactical Weapon Pack has caused quite the stir among the community of crime bosses – as it is currently being given out FREE for a limited time.

The four pack of weapons include the Bohema, a cheeky little number, a personal favourite of mine and slips into my purse with ease. It is an automatic pistol, easy to sneak into any bank

The semi-automatic rifle Slate 36, now this one is perfect if you have BIG BIG goals and want to make it like that Travis Baker fellow, so yeah, if you want to take over Rockay City, this is for you!

The Fiver Tactical is quite a fabulous looking handgun. You can’t go wrong with this weapon in your arsenal.

If you are looking to settle a dispute, or get a free meal from chicken barbeque, become besties with the Urban Sweeper. This  shotgun will easily sort out your more difficult predicaments.

RockON and Roll?

Hey there, I’m Axel Rod Pseudonym. I have been working on a new song and would like to try out the lyrics on you. Feedback is essential, so no holding back. If this goes well, I will record this and bring my rock music career back from the dead – where it has laid slain for almost half a decade.. rotting, festering, erm… bubbling, waiting to relive once more.

Anywhoooo, please read my words.  I name this piece – We Will Defend. (sounds emo and pretentious enough I thought).

Verse One

In the city of Rockay, the streets ignite,

A blaze of passion, neon lights so bright.

The rhythm of the people, hearts pounding strong.

In this electric jungle where dreams belong

Chorus

Rockay City, we’ll soar high,

Like a bullet fired across the sky.

A life force that never ends,

In Rockay City we will defend.

Verse Two

Through back alleys and bustling crowds,

The sound of fighting, is ever loud.

Every district, a story to tell,

It’s the way of life, where criminals dwell.

Chorus, guitar solo, then verse 3 etc etc… you get the point, but that’s my starting point. I will carry this on and then record it if people think it’s good enough. But I guess it’s up to you all.

Thanks in advance for your feedback. -Alex

UPDATE 2.0 IS OUT NOW!

Citizens of Rockay. A new update for Crime boss: Rockay City is now available.

There are so many additions to this update, we just wanted to highlight a few of the most interesting and significant features that were added. 

Please take a look at just a few of the heavy hitters!

  • Police intensity in missions redesign (HEAT) – In the Campaign Mode, HEAT now changes based on what players will do in the missions. For example, aggressive gameplay will provoke an aggressive reaction from the law enforcement.

 

  • Respect Stats in Crime Time – Respect Stats increase with successful missions and decrease with failed missions. Respect will affect available missions, weapons, generic character rank, mission rewards and HEAT. With a high Respect level big missions, such as Money Train, Import Export, The Hidden Vault, Dragon Dogs can appear on the map as regular missions, instead of being available solely as contracts. HEAT is based on respect. Higher Respect brings more HEAT – so while the game offers players more missions and opportunities, theses missions will become harder to complete.

 

  • Dropped weapons can be picked up in FPS missions – your teammates will now keep their original weapons after you have finished the mission. Any weapon that has been picked up from the ground, will have reduced damage.

 

  • Improved aim assist for controllers – The aiming sensitivity is now slowed down when aiming near a target and the aim assist now helps with tracking a target.

 

  • The overall difficulty of the Baker’s Battle has been reduced.

 

  • The number of loot bags in missions, now scales with the difficulty and the number of players involved.

 

  • Characters in Crime Time now gain experience from being sent to missions, and eventually become eligible for a promotion. The promotion gives them better stats and new perks.

 

  • Added an event spawning mission type called Place Bomb. When completed successfully, player will neutralize the enemy turf.

 

  • A new exciting Garage environment has been added to the game.

 

Of course there is much much more that has gone into the update. For the full list of patch notes, please visit our support page HERE!

There is still so much more to come! You can see a sneak peak the future of Rockay City in our updates article, which can be found HERE!

A CRIME BOSS: ROCKAY CITY UPDATE FROM INGAME STUDIOS

We hope you are enjoying your stay in Rockay City!

The team at INGAME STUDIOS would like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has joined Rockay City’s underground organized crime ring in an attempt to becoming the new Crime Boss! Some of you have made it already, some of you need more practice!

Before you head back to the city that never sleeps and go about your daily shenanigans, we want to give you an update of what is in the works over the next couple of weeks and months!

We’ve seen a lot of amazing videos including intense turf wars and nail-biting bank robberies, but we’ve also seen your comments and feedback. Rest assured, the team is watching and listening!

For all those who are new to Crime Boss: Rockay City, these are the modes which are waiting for you:

  • Baker’s Battle: Play as Baker (Michael Madsen) in the single player campaign as he builds his empire.
  • Crime Time (Quick Play): Your smash & Grab go-to for hot action, big blasts, and fast cash (single player & co-op).
  • Urban Legends: Experience high-stake missions with the best characters & weapons (single player & co-op).

Let’s get into the detail and check out what the team is working on right now:
(Please note the below features will be added to the game with the upcoming updates).

  • AI Improvements: Your AI teammates will become more proactive in helping you (eg when looting vans) and you will have more active control over them thanks to the new smart ping.
  • Aim assist for controllers.
  • Armory upgrade: You can sell and upgrade your weapons.
  • Balanced difficulty in Baker’s Battle.
  • Improved character mission persistency in campaign: The progress of the character missions is saved. You will start from the point, where you ended in the previous walkthrough.
  • Introducing Difficulty options for Baker’s Battle.
  • Introducing option to level up teammates.
  • Introducing Respect Level in Crime Time Mode (Quick Play)
    • The Respect Level in Crime Time is increased with successful missions and lost with failures.
    • Respect affects available missions, weapon & generic character rank, mission rewards and HEAT (police intensity in missions) in the Crime Time mode.
    • When reaching the Respect Level “Connected” (the second of six levels), big missions, such as Money Train, Import Export, The Hidden Vault, Dragon Dogs can appear on the map as regular missions, instead of being available solely as contracts.
    • In Crime Time, HEAT is based on respect. Higher RESPECT brings more heat, so while the game offers more opportunities, they are harder to complete. Lower respect goes with lower heat.
  • Invite your friends to big missions in Baker’s Battle: Get help from your friends in your single player campaign by inviting them to the challenging big heists!
  • More mission variations.
  • Player Progression Improvements:
    • Improving player progression in Baker’s Battle.

If you are new to RockON Magazine, you will be glad to hear that we are a group of seasoned professional journalists who really do take the time to research our articles and put out the best face of Rockay City forward.

For those of you who have already read the magazine, you will know that what we just said, is a load of rubbish.

As console players, you will be new to Rockay City, so here is our quick tour around the amazing City of Rockay!

Sheriff Norris has come to town!

Rockay City has recently acquired a new Sheriff, Sheriff Norris!

A former Marine and modern-day ranger, Sheriff Norris won’t stand for crime and has promised to crush everyone who crosses the law!

Welcome to Rockay City Sheriff! Please concentrate on eating donuts (and you lot out there better hope he avoids your illegal activities). Because the donuts he eats are made of steel, and he wants to take a bite out of crime.

RockON Magazines Top 5 Rockay Destinations

Nautilus Keys – The luxurious suburban Nautilus Keys is full of posh condos – full of fancy expensive furniture and designer clothing. These are the kind of places no one from the RockON team could possibly afford. But we can afford telescopes.

Rockay Port – Rockay port is often called the “Cargo Gateway of the Americas“. We at RockON Magazine don’t know what that means, but we suspect it has something to do with cargo pants. It’s also the busiest cruise port in the world in both passenger traffic and cruise lines. Time for that vaycay!

Swamp Road – Swamp Road was the first part of land to be reclaimed from the Everglades over a century ago. It now consists of industrial sites, shopping carts and unsavoury characters – like our editor in chief.

City Beach – Surfing, ice creams, sandy beaches, empty soda cups blowing in the breeze. It’s not the most glamourous of places, but you won’t find many tourists here – mainly due to the constant turf wars, so the beaches are always empty – happy days!

City Center – The center of Rockay City has an impressive waterfront with walkable sections. The city’s memorable skyline of towers offers wonderful views of the islands, the gulf, and your uncle Dave failing at white swimming trunks in his back yard.


When our reporters have very little to do, we often must find things for them to do. This is one of those times. We sent our Miscellaneous Topics Reporter, Karl McGnal to DownTown to mingle with the locals and hopefully come back alive and write us a report on why neon signs… are a thing!

A Sign Of Things To Come?

Star sign, neon signs, what do they mean? Some would say they mean absolutely nothing – but we at RockON magazine think they mean something, and want to make a loosely threaded story out of it. So, we sent our Miscellaneous Topics Reporter (who is from the UK) out onto the streets of Downtown Rockay to see what information he could acquire from the residents. 

Report by Karl McGnal

Alright, so neon lights, yeah? They are like the opposite of natural, aren’t they… I mean, you don’t see neon lights in the jungle. But they are a bit like artificial stars. But here’s the thing – I don’t think neon lights are as impressive as stars. I mean they are all bright and all, but they are just tubes filled with gas that have been electrified. Plus, they’re always advertising something. It’s all, buy this, eat that, come and watch this. It’s like they are shouting at your eyes. I guess that’s the point. I guess that’s the point of why I’m here asking people what neon signs they like. I forgot that’s why I was doing this you know.

Clive McHive is a Pisces and says he likes a Cactus neon sign… this doesn’t tell me anything. One of these like the water, the other one doesn’t like water. I killed a cactus once when I over watered it. It wasn’t even mine. I was housesitting for a neighbour. They have since moved from the area.

Rory McGory told me he has a neon coffee sign… because he used to own a coffee shop – and then he said he was an Aquarius. At least that makes a bit of sense. Aquarius sounds like a fancy brand of mineral water to me, and they only sell expensive water in coffee shops.

RockON Magazines Top Places to Eat Out in Rockay!

Tom’s Pizza – If you deviate from the menu that’s when things start to go wrong. Our features editor once asked for anchovies – that was a year ago and they still have an indentation on their forehead shaped like a block of cheese. So as long as you like Margarita, Margarita with extra cheese and Margarita with no base – it’s just a box of melted cheese, then you should be fine. 

Chicken Barbeque – The RockON team have yet to have food poisoning here, so that’s a good sign – It’s also why it made the list! As for the food itself, it’s chicken. It’s just like how your mother (a mother who you really hate) used to make food – greasy, crunchy and unidentifiable. 

That Taco Place Around The Corner – We did not get diarrhoea. 11 thumbs up!

When the Rockay weather is doing that rain thing and our reporters have to stay inside where we can unfortunately see them – we need to find simple tasks for them to do. We gave Karl McGnal the task of writing about why the gaming world ADORES, Crime Boss: Rockay City.

Report by Karl McGnal

Yeah Crime Boss, it’s alright! You know, I was watching this documentary the other day about elephants. They are amazing animals, aren’t they? They can live for 70 years, they can remember things for a long time.

But there was one thing that bothered me about them. They are huge. They weigh up to six tons and they can grow up to four meters tall. They need a lot of space and food and water to survive. And they produce a lot of dung. Imagine having one of them in your house. It would be a nightmare.

That’s why I don’t understand this expression that people use sometimes: “the elephant in the room”. They say it when there is something obvious that everyone knows but no one wants to talk about. Like if someone has a big nose or a bad haircut or you like something other people said was bad.

They say “let’s address the elephant in the room” and then they bring up the topic. But why do they use an elephant for that? It doesn’t make any sense. If there was an actual elephant in the room, everyone would notice it and talk about it. It would be impossible to ignore.

You would have to deal with it right away. You would have to call the animal control or the zoo or something. You wouldn’t just pretend it wasn’t there.

I think they should use a different animal for that expression. Something smaller and quieter and less noticeable. Then it would make more sense. You could say “let’s address the worm in the room”. And then you could talk about the thing that you don’t want to talk about.

Wait… what was I writing about again?

TRICKS OF THE TRADE – Feature 2

A Bag of Tricks – When grabbing loot, don’t collect a bag and move it, one or two at a time. Instead just keep on collecting and throw bags on the floor. Call team to you if needed. AI will pick up the bags and bring it to van. After you have cleaned out the location (or it’s getting too hot for comfort) grab the last bag or two and go to the van. (NLxAROSA)

Neighbourhood Watch – You can take over multiple turfs with a single attack; separate a neighbourhood from the rest of the gang’s territory. (rtkz)

Fool Me Once – Guards can be intimidated. Gang members and police can not and must be killed or avoided. This may be obvious to some but it took me awhile to realize. (HammondsAmmonds)
