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.

2024 is coming to a close, and what a year it has been for Crime Boss: Rockay City—INGAME STUDIOS’ first game and original IP. This year, we delivered exciting new content to the heisting genre and achieved major milestones.

From new missions, equipment, enemies, and huge heists to DLCs, game modes, and a successful Steam release, 2024 has brought Crime Boss to an even bigger audience.

As we look ahead to 2025, we’re thrilled to share a sneak peek of what’s in store. Expect new missions, storylines, DLCs, and—most importantly—HEISTS.

Check out the roadmap below to see what’s coming to Rockay City next year. We’re excited to keep expanding this world for all the bosses out there.

From all of us at INGAME STUDIOS and 505 Games, happy holidays—we’ll see you back in Rockay City in 2025.

Join us later today at 4pm CET for another Community Q&A with Jarek, Jack, and Lynx! Drop your questions in the community-q-and-a channel on our official Discord. We’ll answer as many as we can during the session.

See you there!

- New enemies are spawning in addition to original ones (white coat ranged enemies)
- There are presents of various contents to be found in the mission
- Rebalance of health and health regeneration upgrades
- The pool of weapons is changed. Some weapons (Chopper f.e.) were removed from the pool and more weapons were added.

- Improved Butcher
-- Butcher has new (secondary) melee attack (cleaver)
-- Improved Butcher’s pose when chain saw is destroyed
- Bots should pick up dropped bags and don’t drop the bags if they are too far away from the player
- Bots have improved use of covers
- Shielder's glass window absorbs damage as it should and then breaks (window was without reinforced glass in store version)
- Hitting shield with weapon without penetration doesn’t produce hit marks

- Very small detection values and very slow detection speed are ignored
- Detection correctly follows enemy animation (turning the head…)
- Minor detection tweaks for the better experience

- Fixed bug that prevented weapon randomization
- Fixed bug that prevented equipment randomization
- Added variety of new weapons, including DLC weapons

• Touchdown has new secondary weapons

• Slightly rebalanced HP of some unique characters
• Touchdown now carries a knife to turf wars.
• SPX has slightly slower rate of fire but bigger damage
• Baker’s bundle weapons are available in campaign now - black market (only for owners)

- Increased quality of the basic version (uncommon->rare)
- Slightly slower rate of fire
- Slightly lowered range
- Elite version received buff

• 12 Gauge has increased damage and range
• The current turf war strategy of individual gangs is now displayed on their boss tab. This shows if their approach is more aggressive or passive, along with special cases tied to storylines.
• “Strong Arm Dollar Dragon for Money” goal added as an alternative to the same ones for Hielo and Khan.
• The remaining days of a truce are now displayed for Baker’s relationships in the overview on the map.
• Sheriff’s overview on the map now displays when any temporary heat or investigation effect is active (such as him postponing investigation during Cagnali’s Order, or halted heat growth after escaping the police ambush event).
• The majority of trade missions in the campaign (e.g., upgrade the drill) now have an alternative payment option with loot.
• Standalone plotlines now begin with a certain amount of relevant loot in the stash to make alternative loot payments within the plotline slightly easier to reach.
• Missions now display the actual loot found in the mission (if known) instead of a list of possibilities.
• Secret Symphony urban legend now offers Mozart as a playable character after his rescue.
• The basic and upgraded drills and buzzsaws now have different names on the display screen to distinguish between them.
• The blackmarket in the campaign now has a limit for the number of weapons generated with weapon skins in one batch to prevent creating a lot of samey-looking weapons early on.


• Selling tiny amounts of loot from stash should now be accurate to the dollar, instead of often being slightly off.
• The goal task text in “Interfere with investigation” urged you to kill your target when the mission is, in fact, a rescue.
• Loot types that didn’t fall into one of the supported Stash categories were displayed in the overview but couldn’t be sold. Now new loot from unsupported categories is automatically converted to cash.
• Updated a few loading tips that were no longer valid.
• Khan correctly switches to the ‘Conqueror’ strategy (multiple attacks per day) after getting Dragon Dogs.
• Certain boss office assets should no longer levitate if the cabinet below them hasn’t yet been purchased. They’re now initially supported by a bookcase.
• Lamp boss office assets should no longer overlap in some cases.
• The “NEW” indicator now disappears when you see the first level of a perk, you no longer have to preview all levels on the progression screen.
• The drill upgrade in The Hidden Vault should now be correctly applied even if purchased after the big heist has already appeared on the map.
• New cutscenes and plotlines should no longer appear just before the campaign end screen.
• Taking Baker to a mission should no longer display a warning every playthrough. Once is enough.
• “Hit on Repair Shop” in the campaign didn’t have a bonus objective assigned, so it wasn’t possible to complete the mission with 3 stars.

Our newest and first fully-fledged character pack, Roidiac Jupiter, is here! The juiced-out, powerhouse version of Jupiter is ready to tear through Rockay City, and she's now available for purchase across all platforms. Let’s dive into what turned Jupiter into this unstoppable force and what you’ll unlock with this DLC. 


 After her father was killed during a SWAT raid at their gym, Jupiter returned to a local steroid lab—not just to raid it but to destroy it. With her signature shotgun in hand, she stumbled upon a potent new performance enhancer: a toxic mix of anabolic steroids, HGH, EPO, and amphetamines. 

This cocktail transformed Jupiter into a muscular, rampaging behemoth, stronger, tougher, and meaner than ever. With her new form, she’s ready to unleash destruction on the dirty detectives, Donny and Phips, who are responsible for her father’s death. 


 Roidiac Jupiter comes fully loaded with weapons, abilities, and perks to unlock the full range of her monstrous potential: 

• SPX with Grenade Launcher
  A tank-like character needs a cannon to match. 
  
  
• Jupiter's Boxer
  Devastating knuckle dusters capable of sending enemies flying. 
  
  
• Adrenaline Ability
  Activate a powerful roar to stun enemies. While under the effect, Jupiter moves faster, takes reduced damage, and deals extra damage. Keep the adrenaline pumping by taking down foes! 
  
  
• Mule Perk
  Carry up to three loot bags with increased speed while wielding your primary weapon. 

Enhance your performance and dominate Rockay City—pick up the Roidiac Jupiter DLC today.
