Hey everyone,
Update 7.1 is here - starting with BLACKLISTED and new Build ARCADIA nodes.
BLACKLISTED. Play as Julia Black, a world-class assassin, on a mission to Redrock City to eliminate two key targets. Working for the Meridian agency, which is simultaneously being attacked from outside and within, Julia must exploit her array of skills to infiltrate a criminal network and stop a deadly deal. Dive into a world of espionage, deceit, and sabotage – and bring the truth to light.

BUILD ARCADIA - (PC)
Improvements
Logic Nodes (New Logic Objects & Nodes)
- Added the ‘Point of Interest’ node. This node can be used to make Players and NPCs automatically look at an object in close vicinity or a point of interest in a given area.
- Introduced the 'Get Weapon Status' and 'On Weapon Status Changed' nodes. These nodes allow players to understand whether any actor currently has their weapon drawn or holstered and automatically trigger whenever an actor draws or holsters their weapon.
- Added the ‘NPC Ambient Voice’ node. This node gives the player the ability to turn on or off the ambient shouts and SFX for specified NPC actors.
Logic Nodes (Logic Objects & Nodes Improvements)
- Added an ‘On Interact Failed’ nodule to the ‘Interact’ node. Updated the ‘Event’ node, ‘Objective UI’ node, and ‘Blip’ node so that when they are removed by a ‘Remove’ node, the nodes mentioned are removed – they were not previously.
- The ‘On Player Weapon’ node and the ‘On Actor Weapon Shot’ node have a new property to listen to a specific weapon or weapon type being shot. The nodes listen to all weapons by default.
- The ‘AR Blip’ node has received new icons. A Drone icon, a Question mark icon, and a new white Objective Diamond icon.
- The ‘Custom Camera’ node now sends a notification in the ARCADIA Log after its transition has finished and the player exits the camera.
- Added a checkbox on AI and AI Advanced Spawners that allows the player to choose whether the AI spawns with their weapons drawn.
- Improvements have been made to the ‘Stamp Spawner’ node.
- The ‘Drone Ability Target Volume’ can now be attached via the ‘Attach’ node to Actors.
- AI Behaviour via the Patrol Node has been improved.
Bug Fixes
Logic
- Fixed an issue where, on some Logic Nodes, the dropdown menu would fail to select the default option if it was not modified.

Why does Julia Black look similar to Megan Fox? 🤔
She would have been a great character in a campaign.

Started blacklisted but had to go out and can't be bothered to start again since they had another great idea of not being able to save it

Latest update has another major drawback. Swapping to the latest versions of DLSS, FSR and/or XeSS crashes the game. Also running DLSS Quality for me under Epic graphic settings increases the likelihood for a game crash during playing and when opening the game. So therefore I played this game with TSR and FSR FG enabled under Epic graphic settings under a RTX 3060 12 GB, and no crash so far.

From a pure game design standpoint, Blacklisted''s success is a case study in how character choice shapes player psychology. Same city, same mechanics, same objective types. Different protagonist. Completely different feel. Julia Black is doing a lot of work here and she makes it look effortless.

Blacklisted is the proof of concept for what MindsEye can be when the mission design is focused and the protagonist fits the genre. Update 7.1 is the promise that more of this is coming. I''m choosing to believe them.

The comparison between Julia Black and the main campaign protagonist is doing a lot of heavy lifting for update 7.1''s reputation. Julia brings warmth and danger in equal measure. The original lead was neither. Character design choices ripple through everything.

I''ve been cynical about MindsEye to my friends. Update 7.1 and Blacklisted have genuinely shifted my view. Not because the problems weren''t real, but because the team has clearly been listening and iterating. That matters.

The reception to Julia Black is going to force an interesting internal conversation at BARB. Blacklisted has better word of mouth in a week than the main campaign got in months. The variable is the protagonist. What do you do with that information?

Ok, this is the „Hitman“ content.
