New CrimeCraft Content

The fast-paced combat of CrimeCraft will receive additional enhancements in the form of a new PvE mode that pits players against AI gang bosses across 14 maps; a new NPC gang; a new PvP loot system, as well as an in-game newspaper that will contain player-generated content and proclaim the victories and defeats of the denizens of Sunrise City.  Additionally, billboards for the “Most Wanted” players in CrimeCraft will appear in common areas to further spread player notoriety and build the reputation of the most lethal gangs.  These features will be rolled out in the first major content update that will drop into the game in October.

“Offering real-world prizes via our in-game co-marketing partners – such as cutting-edge gaming systems from Alienware and graphics adapters from ATI – coupled with ever-expanding in-game content, reflects our commitment to continually increase the value gamers enjoy from their purchase and the persistent world of CrimeCraft,” said Mario Kroll, Director of Marketing at Vogster.

Adds Executive Producer Matt McEnerney: “As an independent development house filled with folks who are passionate gamers, we know that the people who play CrimeCraft and the exploits of the gangs they form are the key to an exciting experience.  They provide much of the lore and back story for our gritty, gang-themed game.  We are excited to roll out content and enhancements to further challenge and excite our dedicated fan base.”
