1920s gangster strategy game Empire of Sin is getting two big content drops next week, with a free update for all users, along with a paid premium DLC expansion.

The free Precinct Update gives players new ways to manage their criminal empire, offering up the new features listed below, including new precincts to control, new ways to win, and other improvements.

Precincts Update

  • Precincts: Subdivisions of neighborhoods that are controlled both by players and other factions. Players must secure Supply Lines between connecting precincts to ensure supplies and payments are flowing smoothly.
  • Depots: Depots are well guarded and have reinforcements to offer longer, more tactical combats with a bigger risk...and bigger rewards. Each Depot is the central control center for a given precinct: claim the depot, claim the precinct!
  • Paths To Victory & Win Condition: There’s more than one way to take over Chicago!
    • The Buy Out is a diplomatic win condition that allows players to eliminate another faction by paying them off. The targeted faction must be under player protection for 3 months and players must be at peace with the targeted faction with a faction rating of at least +300.
    • Chi-Town Mogul - Claim victory by owning 40% of all rackets, with each of them upgraded to maximum level. Players still have the option to continue playing after seeing this victory screen!
  • Improved Police: Handle the cops by managing your Police Activity number, a precinct-wide value representing the amount of police presence on the streets. Police Activity levels are affected by numerous factors including bribery, the strength (or weakness) of diplomatic relations, and the vice investment level.
  • New Depot and Safehouse interiors, as well as Gun Store, Mob Lawyer, and Boxing Club Improvement Buildings

Then we've got the previously announced Make It Count expansion arriving on the same day, 18th November 2021, which adds a new playable mob boss, a new gang profession, a new racket, and more new content.

Make It Count DLC Expansion

  • Maxim Zelnick: Zelnick is a boss who can cook the books just as well as he takes out the competition.
    • “Bolster the Ranks” ability allows Maxim to call in two reinforcements during combat.
    • The “Persuader” boss weapon, a submachine gun that spits bullets faster than Zelnick spits words!
  • Loan Shark: Money lending comes to Chicago, with unique events related to this “interesting” racket.
  • The Fixer: A gangster who specializes in making problems disappear. Fixers can bribe their way out of certain combat scenarios, but when things get ugly, their combat ability, Caltrops, are a fun way to disrupt enemy movement and better plan fights.
  • New Weapons: Get your hands on the MK VI Revolver, Coach Gun, STA 22, Lighting Carbine, RSC M17, plus New Legendary weapons - the Persuader and Golden Gewehr 98.
  • New Missions: 20 new missions, including Gangster personal missions and side missions, including 25 new events.
  • New Loan Shark building interior and Improvement Buildings

“Since last year’s launch of Empire of Sin, we’ve all been exploring new ways to expand on the game’s strategic and narrative possibilities,” said game director Brenda Romero. “We’ve spent the last year working on Empire of Sin to integrate the creative ideas of our incredibly active and supportive community, and the one-two punch of both Make It Count and the Precinct Update is going to let players see the game in brand-new ways.”

Both the free Precinct Update and the Make It Count DLC are coming to Empire of Sin on 18th November 2021.
