After 3 months of release on Steam, we have been working hard to bring the game to the most complete state possible as soon as possible, and we are happy to finally announce its exit from the Early Access state! With this update we wanted to make the game as stable as possible by improving its strengths and correcting the critical issues... speaking of the strengths, we wanted to make a recap of the 3 main gamemodes of the game, which have been developed and improved throughout the Early Access period.
Let's start talking about CLASSIC MODE. The Classic Mode of LOCIS actually is the story mode of the game. In this mode, players will be able to adventure into the dark world by discovering its plots and subplots, and will also be able to make choices that will affect the game by bringing it to 3 different endings.
Carrying on ARCADE MODE... this mode was created thinking of the most competitive players in our community, in fact this mode objective is to accumulate points or try to win as fast as possible. Players will be able to freely decide whether to compete to make the best times or to make the best scores (or both) and compete worldwide thanks to the introduction of the Leaderboard.
Last but not least, we talk about TRIP MODE, what exactly is this mode? In our opinion it's a mode that will increase the replayability of LOCIS, without too many words it's a gamemode in which all the areas of the classic mode are mixed together, moreover everything has been mixed by adding "out of the ordinary" elements, we will let the players find out what strange situations we have prepared for them!
Finally, we would like to talk about the improvements. Among the most important improvements of this update we have fixed many bugs, the game is now more stable than ever... besides this we have also reworked the Main Menu (which we will let you discover), added many rare events and we have also prepared new achievements and Steam cards (with attached rewards such as wallpapers and emojis) but these will become available once steam has completed the verification checks! Regarding the future of the game, we will now take a little break, but we can't wait to get back to work as soon as possible to create new Areas, new features and improve the game experience more and more!
In conclusion we wish you a Merry Christmas and we look forward to seeing you in the hallways of the vast and dark world of LOCIS!

Skills, controls and Interactions
Energy System reformed: Energy will be fully recovered once HAAK touches the ground or grapple points. It is now no longer necessary to consider the recovery speed, the corresponding upgrade system of this feature will therefore be removed.

More health recovery points will be dropped once an enemy has been executed, and aiding skills will be easier to activate
You can now launch combo attacks in the air after hitting your targets.
You can now launch Diving Thurst on the one-way platform you are standing on, without being blocked by that platform

Our final update before the end of the year dropped last week, and with that came a whole host of general fixes and improvements. But in this news update, we want to bring you more information about the brand new U.S. Weapon Pack!
This new offer provides more options if you’re looking to spice up your approach to the fight against the machines. As for how you’re able to get your hands on these weapons, well, let’s just say that others in the world have noticed...
Since the fateful day of the "Cataclysm", NATO and the USSR have each been closely monitoring the situation in Sweden, raising their preparedness levels and weighing options.
When NATO obtained proof that survivors were hiding in multiple locations in Östertörn, they passed resolution "Reaction: Phase 1" as an urgent, temporary solution: large quantities of standard-issue weapons used in the American military were to be dropped all over Östertörn to offer immediate assistance and support to the various groups of survivors.
Mid-tier versions of these three US weapons will now be available in any PLUNDRA storage box on Östertörn; if you are new to the game, you will find them in the storage box at the Iboholmen Church. Higher tier versions of the weapons can also be found by defeating and looting enemies. These weapons are:
N9 Handgun
- A proven, medium-power 9mm semi-automatic pistol. Standard-issue pistol for the US Army. Good for short-range encounters and as a last resort when your main weapon runs dry.
N16 Assault Rifle
- Standard-issue assault rifle for the US Army. Easy to handle and equipped with a burst fire. Excels at medium to long range encounters due to its accuracy, sight options and fire mode versatility.
N60 Machine Gun
- The N60 is a powerful and stable general-purpose machine gun used by the US Army since the late 1950s. Suitable for short to medium range encounters where accuracy is secondary to being able to sustain a high rate of fire without frequent reloads.
⏳ Join the game till 9 a.m GMT next Thursday and get the new companion via Royal Mail — Chef-cooker. Help him to make business in the “Happy Evil Eye” tavern!
Attention: the quest will be available for one week only!
If you have not received the message via Royal Mail, please, log out of the game and then enter it again.
Another bugfix update has just gone live, fixing the remaining reported crashes and some other issues as of the recent large update. This update also lets you radial loot the event gifts!
Thanks for all the reports, and as always please let me know if any issues persist!
Thanks!
