Midnight Heist News

Bugs fixed:
[hr][/hr]

• Fixed a bug that caused the CCTV to interfere with the night vision mode of the photo camera
  
• Fixed an error that caused the server to crash (there are still more to find)
  
• Fixed a bug where translations displayed settings in the options menu as “off” even though they were enabled
  
• Fixed some clipping issues of the new skins
  
• Fixed the hair color of Kate & Luxury when wearing a cap
  
• Fixed a bug where the new clown masks would remove the hair of all characters
  

First of all, we would like to thank you for all the great feedback on the release of version 1.0. We read every single one of your comments and are extremely grateful for your incredible support. There have already been minor updates that fixed a few bugs, but we also took the time to prepare something special for you for Halloween!

[h3]Halloween event for a limited time[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
In addition to the limited-time themed hideout decorations, we are now offering an in-game Halloween event for the first time, where normal loot is sometimes exchanged for Halloween pumpkins (you still get the monetary value when you pick them up), which you can collect. There is a special leaderboard alongside the normal leaderboard for who can collect the most pumpkins. May the hunt begin!



[h3]Halloween Skins 2025[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
To match Halloween, we are once again offering a new skin collection themed around the spookiest time of the year! This is available for you in the shop as usual.



[h3]The gift for Early Access players[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
As previously announced, all Early Access players who had a leaderboard entry (regardless of how high it was) will now receive a gift! This gift consists of a skin set that is exclusive to the Early Access players mentioned above. You will receive a notification in the lobby that you have received the gift, and you can then use it immediately. Thank you very much for your support!

[h3]Bigger rewards for bigger maps[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
We have listened to your feedback and are increasing the rewards according to the size of each map. It should be noted that all maps are of course individually large (or small) and we are increasing each map fairly. The new fixed rewards range from 1000 to 3000 as a fixed cash reward.

[h3]Steam items[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
You've probably already received the notification, but our Steam items have been accepted! This means you can now collect trading cards and unlock backgrounds and emotes in the points shop.



[h3]Bugs fixed & changes[/h3]
[hr][/hr]

• Fixed a bug that caused the CCTV alert to remain displayed after another player had been caught
  
• Improved the entitiy AI

The time has finally come: Midnight Heist is now officially available in version 1.0!
We have made a lot of changes under the hood to improve stability and netcode, but all of the content announced in the roadmap has also made it into the full version.

[h3]The new hideout[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
We are saying goodbye (for now) to our old hideout, which has served us well for two years, but due to a broken water pipe, we had to find a new one. The new hideout not only looks more appealing and atmospheric, it also has a new computer setup and extra space for the module printer and whiteboard!



[h3]New small map[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
The 1.0 release also comes with a new small map with a new theme: The abandoned Midnight City Police Station. Some of you may recognize this location, but venture inside and see what it looks like.



[h3]New skins, skin compatibility and a small thank you for EA players[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
With the full version, we are also releasing a new skin collection. Many of you have requested compatibility of existing skins across multiple characters and we have fulfilled this wish so that everyone can truly express themselves freely. For all those who had a leaderboard entry before version 1.0 (this means all entries, not just the best ones), exclusive gifts are waiting for you and will be available at the Scream Fest!



[h3]Translations[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
With the full version, we also directly support 9 additional languages: German, Chinese, Czech, Spanish, Russian, Turkish, French, Portuguese, and Polish.



[h3]New achievements and Steam items[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
Midnight Heist now offers a total of 44 achievements, compared to the previous 22 from the Early Access phase. These have also been adapted to the new systems and features so that every corner of the game is covered. In addition, we have created Steam trading cards, backgrounds, emotes, and badges so that Midnight Heist takes full advantage of Steam's features. These are currently still under review before they are finally approved by Steam. We'll let you know as soon as that happens!

[h3]New leaderboard[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
Don't worry, the old leaderboard from the Early Access phase will remain unchanged. However, with the 1.0 release, there will be a new leaderboard so that all thieves and hackers from Midnight City can compete again in the full version to see who is the best.

Changes:
[hr][/hr]

• Heist summary now shows heist time
  
• Improved run animation
  
• Improved netcode

• Fixed a bug where drop controls displayed incorrect key text in the tutorial
  
• Fixed the rotating pipes hacking task
  
• Fixed a bug where security camera sound did not work on tablets
  
• Fixed a bug where Ragdoll falls through the stairs in a Midnight City Bank
  
• Fixed a bug with the accept button in Operation 1
  
• Fixed a bug where infection and hacking speed would change with fps when too fast
  
• Fixed a bug where the dropdown tooltip for difficulty level was displaying wrong stats
  
• Fixed a bug where the level icon was not displayed correctly on the Workbench PC
  

[h3]Thank you[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
We at Mediatale, Parona and Dan would like to thank you once again for the exciting time we had during the Early Access phase and are incredibly excited to hear your feedback. As always, your opinion is very important to us. If you want to do us a big favor, please leave your completely honest opinion on our social media channels, such as Discord, or here in the Steam reviews. That would really help us a lot.

As previously announced, we still have a lot of ideas for Midnight Heist, but we are very dependent on the success of the release. We have launched major marketing campaigns and are confident that it will go well, but we are also counting on your support as our community.

So once again, a big thank you to everyone who played, showed, gifted, watched, or took an interest in Midnight Heist, and of course to everyone who was actively involved in its development and provided feedback and ideas.

Hello everyone!

A recently identified security vulnerability within Unity has been spotted, and while there is currently no evidence of impact on users, we’re taking all relevant steps to ensure you’re on the latest and safest version of the game.

To keep you safe, we’ve released a new patch that addresses the issue. Please update your game as soon as possible to stay protected.

You can read more about it here:

https://unity.com/security/sept-2025-01

As announced, we plan to release Midnight Heist in October, i.e. next month. We are making good progress with our roadmap, and content update 1.0 will include several new features and improvements, as previously promised.

This includes a completely new hideout, a new small map, many new skins, new achievements, translations, and Steam items.

And in order to avoid keeping you in suspense about when we will be releasing the game, we are making it official: Midnight Heist will be released on October 24, 2025!



We will have a pre-release phase on our Discord, where we invite you to test version 1.0 together with us and put it through its paces in order to eliminate any possible bugs early on.

We are incredibly excited about the release and will be kicking things into high gear in October! Marketing will also be a focus in order to attract as many new players as possible.

See you on October 24, 2025, in Midnight City!
