Empire of Sin’s Game Director Brenda Romero has released a statement regarding updates and DLC for the criminal organisation strategy title. The game has been getting average reviews across the board due to gameplay issues and the content of the game not quite being up to scratch.
The statement by Brenda Romero does not give too much away as to what issues the upcoming updates will address, nor does it give any concrete information about what the DLC will be aside from adding new areas and characters.
The statement is below.
Hello Empire of Sin Players!
Thank you so much for playing Empire of Sin! We are so excited to finally let you loose on the streets of Chicago and look forward to hearing all about your criminal empires and exploits going forth. But first, I would like to take a moment and talk about what the future holds. It’s two things mainly. First, we have some updates coming your way. We are dedicated to making this game as great as it can be and that’s why the feedback we have been getting from you is so important to us. Over the upcoming weeks and months. we will be working on delivering patches to improve your experience with the game. Second, it’s no surprise that there will be DLCs coming down the road! You’re going places and meeting new people. I can’t share much more than that at the moment, but we think you’ll enjoy it. From the entire team. thank you so much for your support of this game.
It feels like it might be a little while before some of the game’s many issues are fixed, but Romero Games have already released a quick hotfix for the PC version of the game that addresses a save game corruption issue. Hopefully that can be brought over to the console releases sooner rather than later.
Version 1.02.38741 for PC contains these here fixes:
- Save corruption bug is now fixed
- Free building upgrades bug is now fixed

If you take one thing away from this review in progress, it’s that you might want to treat Empire of Sin like you would an early access title for now. Everyone’s got their own personal tolerance for bugs, just as everyone has their own personal tolerance for bathtub-brewed moonshine. There’s definitely a good time to be had in Chicago’s foggy, bloody, liquor-drenched streets, but there are big, noticeable, sort of heartbreaking flaws here as well.
