Inspired by games like XCOM 2, Shadowrun and Invisible Inc the latest from Trese Brothers with Cyber Knights: Flashpoint is set to leave Early Access on May 15th with a new update out now. It's also on sale for the next 24 hours.

Much loved for their previous games including Star Traders: Frontiers and Templar Battleforce, their cyberpunk heist adventure with squad-based stealth and RPG mechanics has expanded a whole lot during its time in Early Access. One addition that's live now is their first retirement storyline, a sort-of end-game point and they plan to add multiple of these in for when one of your characters is ready to retire.

There's even a new trailer to show off all their progress:

Speaking more about this retirement feature they said:

Retirement Storylines are pinnacle opportunities in your Cyber Knight's career, accessible only when you've built a rep as the Knight that gets things done. Multiple offers will give you the opportunity to get started on a chain of escalating missions leading to one last big heist that could get you out of the game for good.

Come out on top, and you'll have a window of time to decide (and complete any lingering unfinished business with your mercs or other contacts) if you want to take the retirement opportunity, or continue running the streets.

Some Knights can't give up the thrill of the heist, and will continue to play hard and fast until they go out in a blaze of glory. Others are convinced better opportunities will come, for either a better life offworld or with more room in the opportunity to set up the squad members they've become closest to with a better life as well.

When you retire or die, you'll get a series of game-end screens sharing what becomes of you and your squad members, a key stats & achievements summary, and your save-game will be memorialized so you can come back and export appearance or talent tree builds.

I'm very much looking forward to a proper full playthrough with the 1.0 content. They have plans post-release too but they haven't revealed what just yet.

Cyber Knights: Flashpoint | Release Date: 17th October 2023
