Major update15 May 2026v2.0 - FREEDOM. ARENA MODE. PRICE DROP. WiRE-CUTTER UPDATEHey everyone, I have some big news to share regarding the future of Deadwire . As of today, I have officially regained the full publishing rights from my previous publisher. This means Deadwire is now 100% independent. From this point forward, every bit of support you show goes directly to Shotgun Anaconda Games the developer and being reinvested into the game(s). I want to thank CoLab for thei…
Quick hotfix for some side-objectives that weren't consistent · Act 3-2 - Squishing 2 enemies should count more consistently · Act 3-4 - Stealth-ing to shotgun is less punishing · Act 3-5 - Stunning enemies now counts correctly when multiple enemies are stunned at the same time · Act 4-1 - Shotgun correctly placed · Act 4-2 - Not opening walls SO could be blocked if multiple attempts were done…
As mentioned before, this patch focuses on making the early onboarding smoother and improving the difficulty curve. This is the first of multiple balance updates, so please forgive the lack of bug fixes or new features in this one. While I can personally enjoy a hard difficulty curve, the line between fun and annoying is pretty thin. DeadWire slipped into the annoying side of that line (tunnel…
First off, thank you all for the continued feedback and playthroughs. It has been really helpful to see how you are experiencing DeadWire, and I am making adjustments based on what I have seen. Difficulty and Level Flow · Easing up the first 4 levels : most players understand the core mechanics quickly, but the difficulty spike comes a bit too soon. · Levels 1 and 2 : these should feel like tut…

This first patch focuses on addressing urgent bugs and making the first improvements to gamepad support. QoL · Added a 0.2 sec shoot buffer when ReWire time runs out, so you don’t accidentally fire when hacking ends. · You can now cancel wires with a single press of the scoreToggle button (default Q / X / Square), instead of holding down shoot. Gamepad I've made some adjustments to improve game…
Let me start by saying a big thank you to all players! It’s been great seeing you enjoy the game and reaching out to share your feedback and thoughts. I just wanted to write a quick update on what’s coming in the first patch. The good news is that there don’t seem to be any game-breaking bugs, so the focus is mostly on QoL improvements and fixing gameplay issues in secondary and tertiary system…
Holy shit, I can’t believe the day is here. DeadWire is finally out for you to enjoy. DeadWire started as one of six different prototypes after my last game (Velocity Noodle). I had played Dishonored and wanted to replicate the Domino ability, which basically allows you to kill two enemies in one attack. After I did that I wondered what else I could do and added a barrel, then a door, and it co…
Hey Operators! Just a quick update on gamepad and Steam Deck support: I’m happy to share that DeadWire supports both , with cross-platform saves between PC and Steam Deck. While the game was originally designed for keyboard and mouse, gamepads are supported. I’ll be the first to admit, it works well but because of the hacking system, it’s been tricky to get it feeling perfect. There are a coupl…
