Knights and mercs - we've been on a steady diet of new maps these last 2 months, and this is now the 5th one we've added. Long Wharf Ruins is especially exciting as it rolls out an entirely new map format we haven't tried before, using new environmental hazards to spice up the paths, options and sightlines for this one. Down by the docks, where the deals get done ... or the Cyber Knights kill you. We've also resolved a few issues with story dialog and assassin VIP missions and improved some of the tools in the hands of the modder preview team. Thanks to everyone for playing and posting this week.

New Map: Long Wharf Ruins
The Long Wharf Ruin rolls out an entirely new and unique map format, where the heist happens in the old dilapidated ruins along some stretch of the harbor or underground river. While it may not host regular shipping traffic and no one has fished in half a century ... that doesn't mean that this water-side ruin doesn't see a heavy buzz of illicit commerce. This is the kind of slimy place where the deals get done and if they don't, any bodies get dumped right into the green toxic glow.
With the addition of Long Wharf Ruin, the map can support 15 additional proc-gen objectives and it can be massively fun to snipe a VIP from across the water! It is also a lot of fun for hacking CPUs as any kind of "there and back" traversal can be pretty difficult on its large but broken loop (you can't go all the way around ... unless you're going to swim!)
This brings the total of proc-gen combos (map X objective) to 487!
