2024 Year in Review

Since the release of Crime Boss: Rockay City in March 2023, the game has seen a lot of changes, and 2024 was no different. While we can’t cover everything, we want to highlight some of the key moments from the year. None of this would have been possible without the feedback and support from you, the players.

This year, we’ve made several updates that have improved gameplay, from refining the roguelite mechanics to adding new co-op features. Every update has brought something useful to the table.

Update 8 was a big one, with a reworked progression system and Boss customization, as well as new equipment and missions. It set the stage for the next step.

June brought Crime Boss to Steam, which brought in a new wave of players. Alongside it, the Cagnalis Order expansion added a cyberpunk twist, mixing things up with something different for the game.

We also brought in some seasonal content with Rockay Rumble in October, which was so well-received it’s now a permanent feature.

December wrapped things up with the Jupiter Character Pack and the Operation Cold Strike mission in Update 13.

What stands out the most this year is the support from the community. Your feedback has helped shape the game, and we’re grateful for that.

Looking ahead to 2025, there’s more to come—more heists, more challenges, and plenty of new content. We’re excited to keep things rolling.

Thanks for being part of it all. Stay tuned to our social media for updates, and we’ll see you in Rockay City next year.
