Vacation, holiday season, and Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone,

After an intense week of releasing the major update, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and happy holidays! It seems like the perfect time to do some heists and betray each other... in the Christmas spirit, of course!

The entire team will also be taking two weeks off to enjoy the holidays, recharge, and come back full of energy for 2025. As a result, follow-ups on the Steam forums and Discord will be lighter than usual!



This year has been incredible, and we’re so grateful to have you as part of this adventure! Thank you🎄

We wish you all a wonderful Christmas holiday, see you in 2025 ✨

Raven

But also


[h2]👋Say hello to the newest member of the team[/h2]
The boss wanted to strengthen our crew. So he brought in this new recruit. Consider them one of us! You now have the choice between two types of burglars!

[h2]🤝Quickplay feature[/h2]
Assemble a team of professional burglars faster than the speed of light! By popular demand, we’ve added a quick matchmaking system to make it easier to form groups.
Note: The servers will be active starting tomorrow.

[h2]🎒Stay stylish while you steal![/h2]
Wanted to switch up your backpack? This update is for you! You can now customize your backpacks!

[h2]🧯Discover new playable items![/h2]
While we already had a hairdryer and a foghorn, what else could we possibly add to the game? Well, it’s simple:
  • Coffee: Grab a cup, place it in the coffee machine, and enjoy a nice hot brew!
  • Extinguisher: What could you possibly do with this during a heist? I’ll let you figure that out!
  • Defibrillator: You can now revive a teammate who died too soon. Just be careful—it’s charged with electricity, so don’t shock someone who’s still alive!

[h2]🙋‍♀️Allo? Allo??[/h2]
You wanted a way to communicate in the game without micro, and now it’s here! Check out our brand-new tag feature and fresh emotes.

[h2]🏃🏿‍♂️ Golden Tag game mode?[/h2]
But what's the "Golden Tag"? We wanted to introduce a lighter, more fun game mode to play between heists! Your goal is to keep the title for as long as possible! Your opponents can take it from you by pushing you. Anything goes.

[h2]🎮Some Improvements[/h2]
We’ve improved the keybinding interface to make it smoother and more user-friendly! To prevent you from getting completely stuck when choosing contracts, we’ve also added a countdown! Other minor improvements have also been made based on your feedback!


🎇And what's next?

This update will be the last major one for 2024, but it’s definitely not the last we have planned for Dark Hours!. Starting in 2025. more updates are planned so get ready for more features to come!

As always, we can’t wait to hear your feedback. Feel free to share it on the Steam forums, on Discord, or directly via email.

We hope you enjoy this update as much as we enjoyed designing and developing it! We can't wait to hear all about how your heists went!
