GET READY TO WALK ON THE WILDER SIDE
Brace yourself for Crime Coast's most explosive update yet!

Big Wily Wilder
Players can now inflict all kinds of mayhem and madness with the help of Wily Wilder, the only person in the world who can make Mr. Malicious pee his pants like a frightened pup. Wily is a tough, new face on Crime Coast and all you need to do to unlock him is just grab yourself a Gangster Crew card and head down to the Mansion's Forge.

Moar Things Please
Do you like stuff? We like stuff. Especially if it's free. So get ready for a tempting treasure trove of over 100 new items, including power-ups to defend your base, items to help bully other players to tears, and some other fancy stuff that's completely top secret. We broke into your Mansion to put this new swag there when nobody was looking. Oh and by the way, we accidentally clogged your toilet.

Built For Brawling
Ever wonder why your builders just sit there on their lazy butts while your city gets ransacked by invading goons? We did, so now you can unlock the Mad Builder card and switch their duties from construction to destruction. Just make sure no one eats their baloney sandwich while they're busy.

Planes Are Da Bomb
The only thing your gangster pilots ever blow up is their girlfriends, but that's all changed with the creation of a goon-shredding cluster bomb which can be found at the bomb silo. And if you're on the receiving end of this devastating device why not swat those pesky planes out of the sky like the bugs that they are with the Defense Tower's snazzy new Air Defense upgrade.

Added bank level 12 and Warehouse level 13, both with extra storage and 5 housing spaces for defensive units

Keep your eyes peeled, more updates coming soon!

The festive season is upon us and what better way to celebrate than to give you guys what you've been asking for!

Player to Player Chat
Need to discuss a delicate matter away from prying eyes? Player to player chat allows you to hook up with your homies with all the privacy you need to plot your next moves and forge stronger alliances!

Player Avatars
It's nice to give your name a bit of colour but nothing beats pimping up your profile like an avatar. Now you'll really stand out from the crowd!

Mafia Flags
You guys are proud of your Mafias, right? With Mafia Flags you can show off your allegiance to your gang and let everyone know exactly who's side you're on!

Mafia Wars
We know you're all waiting for Mafia Wars so we'd like to assure you that this long-awaited addition to the game is almost ready! Crime Coast in 2016 is gonna be one helluva ride!

== Late Halloween Update! ==

Yeah yeah we know it ain't Halloween no more, but our update is late ‘cause we ate too much candy and had to sleep it off. It's totally worth the wait though. So what's new?

Halloween Map Items
We've created a bunch of new Halloween-themed items for you guys and ghouls. Will you find a trick or will you get a treat? Who knows, you'll have to head to Crime Coast and find out!

New Law Office
The law office has been given a fresh lick of paint so why not pay it a visit sometime? Later levels even feature a statue of old lady liberty herself. Now where have we seen that before?

Color Coding
Everyone loves pimping out their gamertag with a funky fresh vibe, so we made color coding into an official feature. Whether you wanna be a bad blue Brett or a rebel red Rachel, now you can drop some color into your name and it won't even count towards the length!

Defensive Structure Cloaking
Need some help fighting off those goons raiding your patch? You got it chief. For 48 hours you can make your defensive buildings unknown to the enemy… until it's too late! And if you're feeling really generous you can gift cloaking to any friend… if they deserve it.

Party for Everyone!
After Halloween everyone's in the mood to party, so we've dropped the price of a gangster get-together to keep the good times rolling. Also you can now pitch up in anyone's town and throw a bad boy blowout whenever you want!

Bad Blue Lab
We hired ourselves some narks straight outta college and now the bad blue labs are totally on point. Production is faster once more, and the product is cheaper if you're buying with gold. Now it even has a minty fresh aftertaste.

What Else You Got Holmes?
- If you've hooked up with a mafia you gotta wait 12 hours to snitch on your homies.
- Our sweet little Thief now steals more than our hearts. Improved AI means she'll bust open resource packed buildings first, and bust some skulls on the way too.
- It was Hustler's birthday last week. He asked for grenades. We got him thunder-hyper- mega-death-grenades! Bigger, faster, and with twice as much punk-splatting power.
- We bought a Venus Fly Trap, taught it some attitude, converted into code, and inserted it into the game. Now we have less bugs. Hopefully! Pretty smart huh?

There's a whole lot more in the works that if we told you about would cause your face to cave in, and we wouldn't want that. So you'll have to wait and see what we've got in store for you, but thanks for playing and don't stop the slaughter!
