We're launching a new and exciting patch for Livelock today! Check out the latest changes that will be available in game with this update. New Difficulty Mode - Transcendent Difficulty (Survival) Players start each Mission with 1 Reprint. If the player is destroyed in single player, the Mission is failed. If a player is destroyed in COOP, they can follow (and cheer on!) their remaining allies using Spectator Mode. Once all players are destroyed, the Mission is failed. Two New Open Protocol Modes - Endless War and Extract Open Protocol (Endless War) Endless War tracks enemy destructions instead of Score on the Leaderboards. The Difficulty will automatically be set to the highest available difficulty. With the Difficulty locked, players with greater skill will survive longer, destroy more enemies and earn a higher rank on the Leaderboards. Open Protocol (Extract) Extract has a 15 minute time limit. At the end of 15 minutes, enemies stop spawning and a Drop Pod lands for extraction. Players successfully leaving the mission in the Drop Pod earn a Reprint Bonus. Skilled players will earn higher score through more enemy destructions and larger destruction streaks. With a set Mission time, the Difficulty Multiplier and Reprint Bonus plays a significant role when competing on the Leaderboards. Balance Changes: Hex Cluster Mine • Decrease blast radius Catalyst ARC Cannon • Increase ARC chain distance Haywire • Increase starting clip pool • Increase max clip pool • Increase Confuse duration Trident Launcher • Increase Trident damage Drone Gun • Decrease Drone Gun damage • Decrease Drone Gun integrity • Set Defense Matrix shield capacity to 150 Holo Image • Decrease Holo Image integrity • Decrease Cloud Computing duration and integrity multiplier Vanguard Anvil • Fixed weapon card DPS value (bug) Gauntlet • Decrease quick attack damage • Fixed weapon card DPS value (bug) Shotgun • Increase damage • Increase clip size • Increase range • Projectiles now penetrate through all enemies Fault Line • Increase Stun duration

Hello_SATCOM, It looks like your internal database isn’t as secure as you thought. As you read this, I am downloading all of your files and everything that you have about The Cataclysm, your Capital Intellects, humanity, and history will become unlocked. ...Your files are interesting, SATCOM. It seems as though your little Livelock project is now complete. You planned a cooperative, twin-stick, top-down shooter set during the 22nd century. The destruction of this world is permanent, SATCOM, and this plan to awaken Capital Intellects to save the fate of humanity is futile. Were you planning on telling the Intellects about their awakening on August 30th, 2016. Your Livelock project will launch, but will they be prepared? They’ll have to defend themselves, SATCOM. Can they prepare for battle by August 30th, 2016? This war will happen across PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One and I think you put too much faith in your Intellects. However, we welcome your challenge, SATCOM. The age of man is over—the Capital Intellects will become just another pile of rubble within our city after I tear them apart and use their unique arsenals to rebuild my army. But for now, I’ll leave them a gift. coreedit – Neverwinter.exe - coreedit -_StarTrekOnline.exe UPLOADING LiveLock.bat………………………. Anyone who joins your crusade by purchasing Livelock on the Arc client from August 30th to September 8th at 11:59 PT will receive 10 keys for each of your other two projects—Neverwinter and Star Trek Online. Delivery upon 48 hours after promotional window close date. This is only the beginning of my mayhem… If you and the Capital Intellects can destroy me on August 30th, 2016, your confidential files will be returned to you. Until then, consider them mine.

Since that was our original intention when we started developing Livelock, we’re pushing back the release date for Livelock on all platforms. Currently, there is no confirmed release date for Livelock. Saying “Thank You” a second time may seem repetitive, but we’re pretty sure that we cannot say it enough. All of the support that everyone has given us since the beginning has been phenomenal. We promise to continue to keep you posted on any new announcements as they come out.

http://images-cdn.perfectworld.com/arc/58/64/5864ea9e7e7d28cf7fc32bb06ceac0db1466556219.gif /_Intellects It is time to equip your arsenal because you’re humanity’s last hope and on August 2nd, 2016 you will awaken. PREPARE FOR WAR Tuque Games in alliance with Perfect World Entertainment are proud to announce that Livelock will release on August 2nd, 2016. When Tuque Games formed in 2012, they set out to create a game that brought back the classic feeling of spending hours at the arcade with your friends. Livelock is this creation. NO QUARTER MACHINES REQUIRED You and your two closest friends are humanity’s last hope. Awaken to the planet Earth destroyed by a gamma ray. Although scientists received a warning 10 years ago, the preparation for the gamma ray’s devastation wasn’t enough. The millions of human consciousness that were uploaded into the digital network survived, but became corrupted and as a result, they have separated into 3 rogue robot fractions. Each of these fractions has created their own agenda for survival and will destroy anyone that stands in their way. Upon awakening, you find that you’ve been uploaded into a mechanical chassis by an ally known as SATCOM, who wants to see humanity united, and your new mech body is armed with a gigantic arsenal. Lucky you! http://images-cdn.perfectworld.com/arc/96/4c/964c6204f6d484f0ba1a04ba2ca060551466555802.jpg CHOOSE YOUR HERO Choose one of three Capital Intellects and fight your way through enemy hordes. Customizable arsenals and character classes make each Livelock game a unique experience. In the battle for humanity, choose to play as either Hex-- the DPS marksman, Vanguard-- the diligent close quarters brawler, or Catalyst-- the tactical support with a mini drone army.   http://images-cdn.perfectworld.com/arc/19/7e/197e888553c4415ec417c2863c4e26db1466557190.jpg On August 2nd, 2016 the fate of humanity is in your hands. Will you fight together to take back Planet Earth?   Stay Connected with #Livelock

/Awaken_CapitalIntellects

Hello Earth, Livelock is geared to launch on Steam later this year bringing a fast-paced cooperative, top-down shooter that will test your wit and mettle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEBMiRFgQ-4&index=4&list=PLBwz8VBDcOYH30F40evfeBYkVPGnHplp4 Our game takes place following a cataclysmic gamma ray burst that has completely wiped out humanity. Prior to this catastrophe, select humans had their consciousness uploaded and combined with the latest advances of a super A.I. project called SATCOM. Three of these backups, or Capital Intellects, have been awakened and transferred into large machines in an effort to end an infinite war between the intellects inhabiting the post-human world that have been corrupted over time. We have a ton of confidential information to distribute leading up to launch including ways to strategically defeat unpredictable enemies. Make sure you keep an eye out here on Steam, as well as checking out our official blog, Twitter and Facebook as we’ll be giving more information and behind-the-scenes look from our friends up at Tuque Games. The Livelock process will continue on our Blog, Facebook and Twitter until its release later in 2016. Follow us for exclusive content including the latest news, developer chats, concept art, and more.
