Future DLC Content

The Story Isn't Over

Ghost Network: Dark Hacker is the first chapter. Two major story expansions are coming.

DLC 1 — RETURN OF THE DARK HACKER

You exposed Obsidian Corp. You thought that was the end. It wasn't. The power vacuum is tearing Neo-Tokyo apart, and someone from your past has unfinished business. 30+ new story missions. 4 new corporations. 2 new fixers. New equipment tiers, network topologies, a brand new defensive mission type, and a three-way ending that permanently reshapes the city.

DLC 2 — PROMETHEUS

The world is bigger than Neo-Tokyo. 30+ new story missions. 3 new factions. Hack networks across the globe. The hardest content in the game. A definitive ending to the Ghost Network saga — no sequel hooks, no cliffhangers. The story that started with import ghostnet as gn ends here.

120+ total story missions across the full saga. 25 corporations. 11 fixers. One hacker who started with nothing.

Infos zum Spiel

You wake up in a shitty apartment in Neo-Tokyo with a stolen computer and a blinking cursor. No hand-holding. Just a desktop OS with 26 apps and a world full of targets. What you do next is up to you.

Ghost Network: Dark Hacker is a cyberpunk hacking simulation built around GhostOS — a fully simulated desktop operating system. Every hack, every mission, every piece of intel flows through apps on your screen. You're not pressing "HACK" buttons. You're writing code.

WRITE REAL CODE. HACK REAL NETWORKS.

The terminal runs real Python. Import the GhostNet API, scan networks, exploit vulnerabilities, download stolen data, and cover your tracks. Save your scripts, build a toolkit, automate your attacks. Or use the visual node editor — drag, connect, run. 70+ commands. 185 hackable device types. Every hack has real consequences.

Disable a camera and the security feed goes dark. Kill the power grid and an entire building wing blacks out. Loop a camera feed and your crew walks past undetected. Hack a guard's neural implant and they stand confused while your team slips by. Disable a ventilator and someone dies — mission over, that's on you.

LIVE HACK — SUPPORT GROUND CREWS IN REAL TIME

Some jobs aren't remote. A crew breaches the building while you hack from your apartment. Green dots on a 2D facility map — that's your team. Red dots — guards. The crew radios in: "Door's locked, Ghost. Handle it." You crack it in Terminal. The door goes green. They move.

5 crews with distinct personalities and patience limits. Take too long and the breacher kicks the door down. Guards with patrol routes, detection zones, and escalating aggression. 11 handcrafted story facilities. Every device you hack in Terminal changes the facility in real-time.

265+ MISSIONS. 18 CORPORATIONS. ONE CONSPIRACY.

Steal a game build from a media company. Sabotage a chip fabrication line. Extract a journalist before a megacorp remote-disables her implants. Broadcast stolen evidence to every screen in Neo-Tokyo.

65 story missions — including 17 guided tutorial missions that teach you to hack from scratch. 100+ fixer missions from 8 underground contacts who reward loyalty with harder jobs and bigger payouts. 100+ job board missions — standalone contracts ranging from quick data grabs to full-scale network infiltrations, each with handcrafted networks, unique targets, and escalating difficulty.

18 corporations — each with unique networks, defenses, and secrets. A hidden thread connects them all: Obsidian Corp, the shadow behind every corporation in the city. Piece it together from stolen files, encrypted emails, and data buried deep in classified servers.

8 fixers. Build rep. Get better jobs. The deeper you go, the harder they fight back — adaptive defense AI that learns your patterns, honeypots, Black ICE, counter-hackers tracing your connection. Silent at first. Lethal by the end.

BUILD YOUR RIG. UPGRADE YOUR LIFE.

15 tiers of hardware. Start with a crappy desktop that lags on every command. End with a rig that executes instantly. 15 apartment tiers from a rat-infested studio to a penthouse fortress. 45 skills across Hacking, Stealth, and Engineering. Exploits, malware, VPNs, and zero-days from the black market.
