Hello,

Sorry to write in English, but I want this message to be very precise. This is a special announcement for our Asian friends:

China


Killsquad is out in China, with full Chinese translation. We hope you like it a lot. Translation was done by a Chinese company. If you detect any errors on the translation:
  • Sorry sorry sorry! We do our best, but errors can happen.
  • Please report them to [email protected] so we fix them quickly.


Korea and Japan


Killsquad comes with full Korean and Japanese translation during next week. These two translations are taking a bit longer, so:
  • Sorry for the delay. Totally our fault.
  • We hope you will enjoy it when it comes out

Dev Diary 6: Enter Revelation

Hello all!

We love game universes. The way they evolve, the way they grow, the shared journey with your audience. We live by Tolkien, by Asimov, by Lovecraft, by GRR Martin. When we see games like Path of Exile or Fallout we feel, that’s the way to go! When we see Eve Online, we feel “that’s a masterpiece”

Killsquad is our tribute to that. We dream of a day where you have dozens of Killsquad heroes, and many planets to explore. But, as Tolkien himself would say “Little by little, one can travel very far”. So, today, we are happy to reveal our vision for the next 6 months. The season 1 of Killsquad, which has the theme of REVELATION. REVELATION will present the actors of the Killsquad universe: the factions, their agendas, and how do we, the Killsquad, work to get what we want.

A few disclaimers before getting all excited about the Plague and the Federation. You guys know we like to be 100% transparent, both when we get it right and we get it wrong. So here’s a couple warnings:

  • There’s an overall task, bug fixing / general improvements, not listed here. But of course that’s ongoing and you’ll get updates frequently.
  • We will drop new contracts during development, they are not part of these major updates.
  • This is a development plan. Things may change. New features may take priority. If that happens, we’ll keep you posted on our progress. Best is to be around our Discord, that’s where the magic happens.


Here is the roadmap of Revelation, click to open in Full Size. We'll be posting it also in the screenshots section.
