KIBORG News

We’ve just rolled out Hotfix #5, addressing some critical issues and making a few smaller improvements. Here’s what’s new:

The Most Important Fixes:
✅ Fixed video playback issues on Steam Deck (affects cutscenes and tutorials).
✅ Fixed numerous cases where the protagonist would permanently freeze when attempting a jump attack.
✅ Updated the Mac version to include all previous updates.

Other Improvements:

1. Fixed the incorrect hint for the Super Move button on gamepad (showed LT instead of RB).
   
2. Fixed several typos in Russian localization.
   
3. Added 2 new bandit models for visual variety.
   
4. Fixed Source implant kit allies spawning in inaccessible locations (in Arena).
   
5. Fixed allied enemies spawned by the Incubator in the Arena living indefinitely.
   

Thanks for your feedback and support! Keep the reports coming, and enjoy the smoother experience.

• Arena is no longer endless – it now ends after the 30th trial. We already work on separate endless mode and soon will release!
  
• Added all three bosses to the Arena mode.
  
• Renamed the progress reset button again (previously labeled "New Game").
  
• Improved enemy targeting logic when player allies are present (enemies won’t ignore you now).
  
• Fixed infinite ally stacking from the Source implant in Arena.
  
• Slightly polished some HUD animations.
  
• Fixed button display issues when selecting keybindings in non-English languages.
  

Thanks for your feedback! Keep sharing your thoughts in the discussions.

Major Changes:

• Controller Layout Selection – Added the option to choose between two preset control schemes (currently, only the dodge button is remapped). Full customization will come in future updates.
  
• Toggle Subtitles On/Off – Players can now enable/disable subtitles for the announcer, AI assistant, and story cutscenes.
  
• Character Names in Subtitles – Story cutscenes now display character names. Spoiler: You might not have noticed, but one of them is Volkov. This is no coincidence...
  

Improvements:

• Minor UI/UX fixes across several screens.
  
• Updated status effect displays in the Database and weapon stats.
  
• Changed the text on the "New Game" button and its warning message to be clearer, preventing accidental progress loss. (More substantial changes are planned for the future.)
  
• Enemy drones now self-destruct when the trial ends.
  

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an enemy reaction bug where they would counterattack immediately after a parry if the player dodged.
  
• Fixed the "Piercing" weapon mod, which could damage allies.
  
• Adjusted Cutter's behavior at long range.
  
• The "Bomb" status now only damages the affected target and their allies.
  
• The Loader Robot no longer attempts to pull in targets it shouldn't.
  
• Added a healing aura for the Chemist from the "Source" legs.
  
• Fixed the Drone Factory's ragdoll (now correctly shows an explosion).
  
• Added a warning circle when the Chemist is about to explode after a canister hit.
  
• Fixed an issue where Sovereign's head wouldn’t damage agents.
  
• Adjusted subtitle timing in the 4th cutscene.
  

⚠️ Patch changes are not yet available in the Mac version – the update will follow later.

We’ve just deployed the second hotfix addressing several key issues:

• Fixed a bug preventing video settings from applying on Mac
  
• Enemies no longer get stuck behind fences or on spawn points (in most cases).
  
• The Host’s presence has been rebalanced – now a bit less intrusive.
  
• Added a 5-second delay before the "New Game" button activates – reducing accidental clicks.
  

Thanks for your feedback! Keep reporting bugs, and enjoy the game!

Hello, dear players!
