Bandits,

We're working hard on getting Update 1.3 out on all platforms, but before that's ready, we figured we'd broadcast some gameplay from Update 1.2 (build-a-bandit).

The cast of criminals on this broadcast are...

Mikkel - Community Manager
Gui - Multimedia Designer
Jakob - Content Creator
Vilius - Marketing Manager

We're primarily playing Crime Spree, but we mix it up a bit with some Arcade Mode too.

Enjoy the broadcast and let us know in the comments what you think / hope will be in Update 1.3 - which is coming out on September 15th on all platforms!

Hi, Bandits!
We have some exciting news to share with you!

Update 1.3 is coming soon, and I thought I would take this time to talk to you about some of the changes that are coming to the game, and some of the changes that have already been implemented.

Community feedback is a great way to improve a game, and we’ve already used the feedback we’ve received to make Rubber Bandits a great game - more game modes to have a greater variety of gameplay, progression to have something to strive for and unlocks that don’t take unreasonable amounts of time to get.

With Update 1.3 launching soon, we’re bringing even more changes to the game based on player feedback. We’re tweaking a bunch of levels to make them way more fun to play, and improving spawn indicators for weapons, cops and players.

We’re also adding three new weapons, bringing back the Summer Prologue and Lunar New Year’s levels, and for a limited time you’ll be able to unlock the Summer Prologue skins again! We’re also adding two new levels set on a **volcano**, and adding more accessories for you to commit crimes of fashion with.

In preparation for the launch of update 1.3, we’ve reduced the price of Rubber Bandits in most currencies - what a steal! More players will make matchmaking a lot faster and improve the experience for all players - so tell your friends to get in on a life of crime!

Get ready to put the crime in the coconut, Bandit. It’s going to be a blast!
