Since the demo launch in April, I've been continuously improving the game based on your feedback. Here's a new trailer featuring the updated build.
I'm currently working on the second stage, the threshold, and aiming for Next Fest 2026 and Early Access release.
We are deeply grateful to all the players who have supported Steel Knight's ARMIS.
Your feedback means a lot to us, and the development team is continuously working
to further improve and refine the game based on your input.
Some players have reported that after clearing Stage 4-2,
the game appears to freeze and does not progress.
Please note that this is not a bug, but part of the intended scene transition.
After the event, there is an approximately 10-second pause before the next scene begins.
During this time, the screen may appear static, but it will continue automatically afterward.
However, we understand that the current presentation can be confusing and may appear as if the game has frozen.
We sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding and inconvenience caused.
We are considering adjustments to the timing and presentation of this sequence in a future update,
alongside other planned improvements.
Thank you for your continued support of Steel Knight's ARMIS.
We're thrilled to have the game launch at last. Many quality-of-life improvements are coming in the following days. Among other things, the web links will have a nicer domain.
We hope you'll have fun starting your virtual investment journey!

This update focuses on improving how the world feels to play in - with a complete rework of Transport Quests (yes, we hear you!).
Transport Quest Rework,
We’ve rebuilt all quests related to moving people to Windmill from the ground up. Each mission now tells its own story and reacts to how you handle it. What’s new: Unique storylines and dialogue for every transport quest. Updated list of participating enclaves to better reflect the world’s state. Multiple endings, including one secret, morally questionable path. Every passenger now comes with a reason - and a consequence.
New Job Board Missions,
The Job Board has been expanded with new mission types: Elimination Contracts - destroy a set number of enemy vehicles for high pay. Passenger Transport – move travelers between enclaves (unlocked after opening the North Gate). Exploration Missions – investigate marked points of interest around the map. These new contracts bring more gameplay variety and opportunities to earn.
Other Changes,
Improved quest pacing and dialogue flow. Adjusted rewards and difficulty balance. Minor optimizations and fixes. Thanks for all your feedback and support - it keeps us improving with every update.
See you out there raiders!
