With many bugs fixed, development shifts more into new features
Mobster strategy gameEmpire Of Sinwill add mod support later this year as part of an update named ‘The Precinct’, publishers Paradox Interactive announced today. That will also introduce new ways to streamline running your criminal empire. This future news comes alongside the launch of a more bug-focused patch today.
Seethe Gangster Update patch notesfor everything that hit the game today. It’s not hugely exciting but does fix a number of bugs as well as introducing a new weapon proficiency system, making more gangsters available at the start of the game, and promising “major mission improvements.” With this patch out the door, developers Romero Games are looking ahead to new features.

Mod support is one big part of The Precinct, with later updates planned to expand modding possibilities. New win conditions are planned for The Precinct too. But the update is named after Precincts, a new management feature which Paradox explain thusly:
Weheard last yearthat they planned to add mod support in 2021, but it feels closer now. Not just because, uh, it is now 2021.
The game did need this series of bug-fixing patches first, with ourEmpire Of Sin reviewnoting an unpleasant amount of wonk.
“Its a shame, because it’s a wonderfully ambitious mashup of systems wrapped around a lovely, if extremely cliched, caricature of the golden age of gangster fiction,” Tom Senior said in the review. “When negotiations break down and you end up in a shoot-out with enemies that look like they’re dressed for a wedding, Empire Of Sin feels like a farce worthy of a Coen brothers movie.”
Bugs have been a real problem for Paradox lately, with their latestEuropa Universalis IVexpansion becomingthe worst-rated thing on Steam.
