New Costume And Colors, Plus AI Playtesting Sign-Ups

The January update for ESPIONAGE: Mafia Evolved is out now on all platforms! We're also NOW accepting sign-ups for AI Playtesting. Read on if you would like to help out!

New Costume:

Graduate Ruiko This is the first costume that launches with three total colors! We also have other costume plans as announced during the Roadmap event, including...

New Costume Color:

Retired Sherring (Alternative Version) This is only the first of many alternate colors coming throughout the year. It can be unlocked by anyone who has the character unlocked already with Marks: our currency only available from gameplay and completing challenges.

Various Fixes:

A few visual bugs previously reported have been resolved, including a Player List display error in which avatars were not being shown in the correct aspect ratio. An issue within the shop that would result in a scrolling issue with text boxes has also been fixed. Some rarer bugs that made certain functions within the lobby inaccessible have been fixed, along with a bug that caused some chat issues.

We are now accepting sign-ups for AI Playtesting!

ESPIONAGE: Mafia Evolved will soon have full AI player support: play alone, play with a full lobby of humans, or play with a combination of AI and humans. If a human player ever disconnects, don't worry—AI Takeover means an AI who has all information from that player's perspective will take their place until they return.

As promised, we will soon conduct various playtests combining human and AI players. These tests could take place on any day of the week and will utilize the players who are available on those days.

If you would like to join the AI playtests, please react to this post with . You will then be manually invited to a channel for discussing and arranging AI playtesting. Thank you to everyone who is kind enough to volunteer their time and experience so that we can make this new feature the best it can be! Please note: We will be pinging this role during all playtest periods.

What's next?

—2023 Major Update #1— The very next major update will be the start of Season 2, which will include not just full AI support but also the very first Master Costume! This costume will be for one of the original eight characters. If you have this character to Level 50 already, you will have it unlocked for free immediately upon loading the game after the launch of Season 2. If you haven't reached Level 50 with this character by then, don't worry: anyone who reaches Level 50 with a character, at any time, will always receive their Master Costume free once it is made available within the game.

As for which character it is . . . . well . . . .

Beyond this, we have much more including 2nd Special Abilities for all characters and Action Phase abilities for all roles. The next role to get an ability will be The Supporter .
