One-Year Anniversary 🥳

Carto has been released one year ago.

After launched, we enjoy finding out how players play our game. Some laugh at the puns while streaming, some accompany with their partners and kids to solve puzzles, and some challenge themselves by getting all the achievements on their own.

Fans even turn Carto into pixel art, 3D model, paper doll and clay!

We put these creations on a wall and strongly recommend you to check it out:

Thank you all for loving Carto 🙏

Greetings templars!

Halloween is right around the corner and we have prepared a very special update for all players!

Until November 11, a door close to the elevator at the end of the level in E1M1 is open, and a portal leading to the Halloween side area has been activated. You will face resurrected monsters and their master, Headless Necromancer - can you become their worst nightmare, again?

In the Halloween side area, you can:

1. Obtain a Halloween-specific emblem Pumpkin Curse for your trap launcher, which greatly increases the damage of lightning stun and reduces the max HP of enemies. This effect will be more powerful during Halloween.
   
2. Obtain several weapons in advance in E1M1, but they do not come for free - you need to explore the level, find special tokens or win them in a shooting gallery minigame, and exchange them for these weapons.
   
3. Face the revenge of the Headless Necromancer - tell it who's the boss here!

Additionally, we have prepared a contest for all owners of Dread Templar - Take a screenshot of your achieved high score in the Halloween shooting gallery minigame, share it on Twitter and include the name you would like to be known in the game as, and the hashtags #DreadTemplar #Halloween #Contest and tag the account https://twitter.com/1C_Company. After the Halloween event ends, we will pick 10 highest submitted scores and they will be featured on a leaderboard in-game, introduced as an Easter Egg in an upcoming update!

Happy Halloween!🎃

• Enjoy a new Halloween-themed side area and mini quest, complete with a unique bossfight. But better hurry, the area is only accessible until 11/11/2021
  
• Earn the “Pumpkin Trap” emblem to show off your appreciation of the scariest time of the year
  
• Get into the Halloween spirit thanks to the halls of Hell adorned with seasonally appropriate decorations

The CBL: Fall Fight 2021 Tournament has come to a magnificent conclusion, and we have all the highlights you need right here! Over dozens of battles, teams fought for their place in the next bracket, eventually leaving us with the victors.

First and foremost, we’d like to thank everyone who participated in the 16 magnificent battles, and our fantastic shoutcasters: CoffeeFuelledGaming, KiNGAlphaTv, Evo Loz Gaming, 9Fingers, and Zimster.


Congratulations to Llamaland (EU), a fearless troop of fighters led by their captain MetheKhan, who seized first place in the CBL: Fall Fight 2021! And to the victor, go the spoils. This team has earned a CBL-exclusive Hero Attire, an exclusive Champion Player Title, a CBL Avatar, 5,000 Sovereigns, a Backflip Emote, 1,000 Blades, and 50 Wyrmbane Armour Attire Boxes!

Their captain had this to say of their triumph: “I would like to thank the Conqueror’s Blade family, my House, and our players for giving us all these amazing memories. I would like to present my infinite gratitude and respect to the CBL team and our competitors.”

They’ve also earned the right to battle on a global scale against the winners of a Tournament hosted by Booming Tech (more details coming soon)!
In a thrilling final against Llamaland, Pond Guard (NA) stood strong. Led by their captain Pyan, who had this to say of CBL: Fall Fight 2021: “Pond Guard is very thankful for the opportunity to compete in the CBL once again. We hope to have provided entertaining matches as we strived for first place but ended just short at second. All teams played exceptionally well, and I hope to see more successful CBL tournaments in the future!”

The team won’t just have memories to go home with, as they also receive an exclusive Runner-up Player Title, a CBL Avatar, a Backflip Emote, 3,000 Sovereigns, 800 Blades, and 35 Wyrmbane Armour Attire Boxes.
Plebs (EU) fought the good fight and came out of the CBL: Fall Fight 2021 in a very respectable third place. Captain Templeshot had this to say of their experience: “Thanks for another great CBL tournament! As Plebs, we had some great games and are very proud of our performance, and we beat some strong teams to get to third place. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the teams that participated and the team that organised and ran the whole event - without you, none of this would be possible. And of course, big thanks to my team. Next time we'll come back stronger than ever and try our best for the win.”

Their team won’t be going back to the Borderlands empty-handed, as they will claim an exclusive Third Place Player Title, a CBL Avatar, a Backflip Emote, 2,000 Sovereigns, 500 Blades, and 20 Wyrmbane Armour Attire Boxes.

The spooky season of tricks, treats, and frightening feats is here. We’re celebrating by opening up the doors to the crypt underneath the Great Halls. There you will find 14 seasonal Skins, including new Rayman and Artemis Skins, a new Ofrenda Podium, Avatars, Colors, and More! Just follow the trail of candy corn and you won’t lose your way.

See the list below for all the exclusive treats:




Ray of the Dead

• “RIP: Rayman is Phantasmic.”
  
• Of course they celebrate Halloween in the Glade of Dreams! No one is more excited than Rayman with his sugar skull inspired face paint, Calaveraxe (Axe), and Saints & Souls Gauntlets.

Demon Rider Artemis

• “Anybody can ride a Rocket Lance. The trouble begins when you try to land with it.”
  
• Witness Artemis and her unmatched command of stunts and the badlands. She’s ready for any terrain with her Dirt Road Drill Rocket Lance and Adrenaline Rush Scythe.

Corpse Bride Mirage

• “Here comes the bride, all dressed to fight!”
  
• Not even death will part Mirage from her true love. She re-enters the Great Halls from beyond the grave armed with her Scythe and Spear: In Sickness and In Health.

Werewolf Thatch

• “It's high moon.”
  
• Things are looking pretty hairy for this ‘ol pirate. Beware of the full moon, or you might fall prey to his Haunted Incisor Sword or Wolf’s Howl Blasters.

Dusk Till Dawn

• “He vants to take your Elo!”
  
• This elven king becomes a different kind of nobleman for the Brawlhalloween season. Just don’t let him get too close, his teeth and Immortal Pike are as pointy as his ears.

Petra Reanimated

• “Consult your doctor.”
  
• SHE LIVES! Avoid the grasp of Petra’s Horror and Fright Gauntlets and the cruel sting of Von Evilstein’s Heart.

Skel-asuri

• “She’s got a bone to pick!”
  
• Cat got your… flesh? The fiery spirit that possesses Asuri’s skeleton is just as fierce. Beware, her Bone Claw Katars are as sharp as her Sword, Joint Pain.

Werebat Ragnir

• “Like a bat out of Helheim.”
  
• This bat is right-side-up and ready to brawl! He uses his finely attuned senses to best his opponents with his Sonar Slicer Katars and The Monster Slash Axe.

Immortal Caspian

• “When you’re a vampire thief, the stakes are always high.”
  
• Caspian’s blue blood seems to be in short supply these days, so yours will have to suffice. Look out for the attack of his Vampiric Embrace Gauntlets and his Bloodletting Katars.

The Monster Gnash

• Graveyard smaaaash!”
  
• No, Gnash is the Monster, not the doctor. Though, it’s not an expression of misunderstood humanity when he swings his Headache Hammer or Hand-Saw Spear in your direction.

Punkin Spice Yumiko

• “In every town, village, and city. There is no escape. Ever.”
  
• It’s Punkin Spice season, and Yumiko isn’t taking prisoners with her ded Bow or LOL RIP Hammer.

Demonkin Diana

• “Be careful what you ask for”
  
• This half-blood is all-in on taking you down. Her Wicked Wings Bow and Brimstone Blasters will send you to the not-so-pearly gates below.

Horseman Lucien

• “They say his spirit haunts the roadways to this very day.”
  
• This pompous undead Count thinks himself a gourd. Even in his current state he threatens dissidents with his Haunting Blade Katars and his trusty Blasters, Ghost and Goblin.

Bewitching Scarlet

• “Nice night for a hex.”
  
• She’ll put a spell on you with her Dark Cauldron Hammer and Witching Broom.
• Bonus: Angry Magic Hat poses with Scarlet’s actions!

Ofrenda - “An offering for our KO’d Brawlers.”

• The expression on the sugar skull’s face changes depending on the Podium's state! (Ready/Idle, Lock In, Victory, & Defeat)
  
• Featuring unique sound and visual FX!

Jac-KO-Lantern - “Smashing pumpkins into tiny pieces of debris!”

In the last patch update we introduced a new Emojis system so players can communicate on all platforms! Players can use Emojis to communicate after or between matches on the Scoreboard screen and in the Lobby. There are 15 Emojis featuring different Legends with unique expressions and emotions.

• Players now can express themselves on all platforms!
  
• The default bindings to use an Emoji are: “]”on keyboard and “RB” on controller. There is a small cooldown timer after consistently using an Emoji.
  
• Saying “GG” after a match will automatically activate the “GG” Emoji for an easy shortcut.
  
• If a player is muted, their Emojis are hidden from the player that muted them.
  
• Since post-game chat was a feature only available on the Steam client and did not exist between platforms, it has been replaced by the Emoji system. It is still available in character select, mid-match for spectators, custom lobbies, matchmaking lobbies, and the main menu for clans on PC and Mac.
  
• There are now options for PC and Mac players to customize their chat visibility between all, friends+clanmates, or no chat.

Looking for your next Ranked 2v2 partner or want to spar against the last opponent you played? Players can now invite other players they just brawled with or against from matchmade games to a lobby!

• This can be done from the Scoreboard screen either from the Inspect menu or the Lobby menu in the top-right hub.
  
• Players select what type of lobby to invite other brawlers to, but the type of lobby will not change until the invited player joins.
  
• A notification will appear if the invited player accepts the invitation. Players can accept the invitation from their notifications in the Lobby menu or Main Menu.
  
• Players can also invite their opponent even if they are not on their friends list.

Pick your strongest 3 Legends and put them in a magic vortex, where their weapons and signature moves get scrambled into wild new combinations! Battle as a team against equally scrambled opponents in a 2v2 Stock battle. First team to 6 KOs wins!

• Switchcraft Game Mode
  
• 2v2
  
• 3 Stocks for each player
  
• First team to 6 KOs wins!

IT'S ALIVE! IT'S ALIVE! No, seriously... Our science minions have been cooking up something seriously sinister (and just a little bit slimy) as an added deterrent for the Forces of Justice, and it's just in time for spooky season.



Now you can resurrect your own army of brain-munching brutes to keep agents at bay. Imagine the sheer terror those troublesome agents will experience, running into one of these towering, barbaric beasts! No mercy, just muscle.



What goes into making a monster? First, you'll need to construct your very own top-of-the-range Abomination Creation Station (see below for manufacturing details).



ABOMINATION CREATION STATION (ACS) BREAKDOWN

1) The Abomination Creation Station uses body bags as fuel! These are added using the same Omni Port design used on the Incinerator.
2) The ACS can hold fuel for three Abominations. This is noted with lights over the Omni Port which switch on or off according to the amount of charge left.
3) The three cells on the other side of the unit serve the same purpose (as 2), lighting or dimming according to remaining charge.
4) The ACS can operate unaided but the presence of a minion speeds up production.
5) This is the exit ramp for the Abomination.
6) Abomination 'casket' is the same as the one for the Android Creation Station, both in looks and functionality.
7) More for narrative and decoration, chains add an industrial feel and imply what is being created here is more brutal than other creations.
8) Lazer Antennae can retract into the body of the machine when not in use.



The Abomination pack is included as part of the Evil Genius 2 Season Pass or as an individual purchase costing $3.49/€3.49/£2.99. Happy Halloween!


The spooky season is upon us, and with this update the Abomination Pack is available to Season Pass holders, or separately for purchase, blending Body Bags with a dash of mad science to add these shambling hulks of muscle to your minion ranks.

We continue to squash bugs where we find them, and this patch should remedy the remaining navigation issues some of you have experienced. The Design team have also reviewed Loot item power costs, and made some changes as a result, spreading the power requirements out more evenly to prevent sudden drains on power at the end of objectives. We’ve included the specific changes below. We've also added an option for those of you who want to use your cursor outside of EG2 while the game is running, improved a few Trap combos, and added some additional messaging where you've told us it would be helpful.

The team are hard at work on the Campaign Pack which will be our next item of new post-launch content, and will complete the Season Pass. Those of you looking for new challenges and fresh faces in your Evil Genius 2 campaigns should look out for updates on this from our Marketing team in the weeks ahead.

And finally no, we didn't forget about v1.9.0, but the reasons for jumping to v1.10.0 for this update are far less interesting than you might imagine. Bureaucracy is perhaps the ultimate evil.

We wish you continued success in your pursuit of World Domination.
