I just uploaded a brand-new trailer and artwork for Spider Fox! 🕷🦊

🎥 Watch the new trailer here:

Spider Fox has been out for a little while, and I felt the trailer and store page artwork needed an update.

I haven't posted much about it here but I recently had a bone marrow transplant done at the NIH (National Institutes of Health) in Maryland in January. I had rare disease called VEXAS that ending up causing me to also have blood cancer. The transplant was a success. I am still recovering and the transplant has caused some new health issues. I just wanted to make sure I posted something here to let you all know that I did not abandon the game and your support means the world to me.

This post will prepare you for what is in store as part of the patch as well as what you should expect going into it.


Better late than never! To celebrate 15-Years of APB: Reloaded we’re introducing the 15-Year Anniversary event role, packed to the brim with Joker Tickets and exclusive Titles.

Additionally log in between now and the 13th of August to earn the "Ladder Climber" Title as a login reward!


This patch also introduces our in-house Anti-Cheat GFAC - This project has been months in the making and we’re extremely happy to finally get it out the door so we can start tackling the cheating problem head on.

GFAC is made entirely in-house and it has been a significant project. We are dedicated to improving it until we’re satisfied with the results - However, this is entirely new tech and after weeks of testing we are at the stage where we can only move forward by releasing the Anti-Cheat and tackling issues as they occur which could mean that things may be bumpy for the first week or two as we weed through any issues that get reported.

We wouldn’t have been able to get this fair without the help of some very dedicated community members, and now its up to you to jump in and help us push it forward. While we’re going to be watching GFAC closely we would also like to urge all of you to let us know about any issues related to GFAC that you encounter so we can fix said issues them as soon as possible in the dedicated “GFAC Known Issues” thread on both Discord and the Forums!


Todays patch also adds our new Leaderboard System with its first season official starting on the 1st of August!

This is another entirely new system for APB. With that in mind, August is our Leaderboards Beta phase. While we feel we have built something extremely versatile, we need to experiment with what works and what doesn’t over the next few months. We plan to move out of the Leaderboards Beta phase in early 2026 so that we can expand on the system with the things we learned.

Again, this is where you can help us! Feedback will shape this system into being the best it can possibly be so you have any please make sure to submit it in the official Leaderboards feedback threads on both the Forum and Discord!

IMPORTANT PSA: If you are using a config that uses an edited “DefaultEngine.ini” file you will need to either repair your game and redo your DefaultEngine.ini changes in the new file provided or manually edit your existing file and add the following in your [Engine.DataStoreClient] array:
+GlobalDataStoreClasses="APBUserInterface.cUIDataStore_Leaderboard”

Not doing so will result in a game crash when opening the Leaderboards UI!


Todays release also marks the release of our revamped Premium service offering new rewards. You can read all about it in our dedicated blog post from a few weeks ago here but here is a short summary:

The new Premium subscription will cost $4.99 / 500 G1C, and here are the new benefits:

• Use your Clan name as your character Title
  
• And more perks coming in the future like Premium Leaderboards with special rewards

Additionally Players that had premium prior to Premium becoming free will have that premium amount reinstated - If you did not have your Premium days reinstated please contact Customer Support by Emailing “support@littleorbit.com”!

In weeks following the Anniversary patch we’re going to spend some time making Quality of Life fixes and some improvements to any issues found.

Then we will be working on the finishing touches to the next update titled “Legends” - We understand that our initial target of launching Legends two weeks after the Anniversary was a bit too ambitious so we’re going to monitor how the new features introduced in the Anniversary patch are doing before setting our sights on a potential release date for the Legends patch.

Thank you for being a part of APB: Reloaded and helping shape its legacy over the past 15 years. Log in, check out the event, and don’t miss your chance for exclusive rewards!

Thank you all so much for your patience.

Seriously. I know it has been a long time since the last update, and I acknowledge that the delay in releasing Book Three has been far, far longer than I ever intended.

There have been so many unexpected personal circumstances over the last year that have really impacted my ability to just sit down and write. While I can't go into much detail here, please know that Heart Fragment still means the world to me and I am committed to seeing it through to completion. Things are still in motion, just... small, little bits of manageable motion at a time.

As a reminder of some of the good news:

• Jasper's route is fully written and programmed. We just need to do the beta testing before release.
  
• Natalia's act 1 & act 2 are complete. Only act 3 and her endings are left to write, and progress has been made into act 3.
  
• All of Natalia's CGs are done in both art styles. Jasper's CGs are finished in Style B. The StarxSocial style CGs are also complete, both Jasper and Natalia.

That is to say, things are far closer to finished than not finished. So just hang in there a bit more!

Also... What's new in this update? The big one: Dexter finally has a sprite. Woohoo! Most other things are small fixes or file prep for the future, but I hope you all enjoy finally getting to see Dexter in all his glory.

I know the wait has been long and I appreciate everyone who has stuck around. Those who have believed in me all this time are like a pillar that keeps me going.

Thank you. Seriously.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed Japanese localization not loading in last build.

• Added Japanese and Chinese punctuation characters to the dialog's typewriter delay system.
