Empire of Sin getting Make It Count expansion, Precinct update next week

It’s been announced the Empire of Sin will be getting its first premium expansion, titled “Make It Count”, along with a free Precinct update next week. Both will be going live for Switch on November 18.

Here’s some information about the Empire of Sin Make It Count expansion and Precinct update:

More on Make It Count: the first major expansion for Empire of Sin, Make it Count adds Maxim Zelnick, a new playable boss who is best known as the “Mob’s Fixer.” Zelnick brings new combat abilities, talents, and a string of ways to expand your empire. He arrives alongside the Fixer gangster profession, Loan Shark racket, additional missions, weapons, events, and much more! Key features include:

• Maxim Zelnick: Zelnick is a boss who can cook the books just as well as he takes out the competition.
  • “Bolster the Ranks” ability allows Maxim to call in two reinforcements during combat.
  • The “Persuader” boss weapon, a submachine gun that spits bullets faster than Zelnick spits words!
• Loan Shark: Money lending comes to Chicago, with unique events related to this “interesting” racket.
• The Fixer: A gangster who specializes in making problems disappear. Fixers can bribe their way out of certain combat scenarios, but when things get ugly, their combat ability, Caltrops, are a fun way to disrupt enemy movement and better plan fights.
• New Weapons: Get your hands on the MK VI Revolver, Coach Gun, STA 22, Lighting Carbine, RSC M17, plus New Legendary weapons – the Persuader and Golden Gewehr 98.
• New Missions: 20 new missions, including Gangster personal missions and side missions, including 25 new events.
• New Loan Shark building interior and Improvement Buildings

More on the Free Precinct Update: Free to all Empire of Sin players, the Precinct Update is all about giving players new ways to manage their criminal empires, play and win. Key Features include:

• Precincts: Subdivisions of neighborhoods that are controlled both by players and other factions. Players must secure Supply Lines between connecting precincts to ensure supplies and payments are flowing smoothly.
• Depots: Depots are well guarded and have reinforcements to offer longer, more tactical combats with a bigger risk…and bigger rewards. Each Depot is the central control center for a given precinct: claim the depot, claim the precinct! 
• Paths To Victory & Win Condition: There’s more than one way to take over Chicago! 
  • The Buy Out is a diplomatic win condition that allows players to eliminate another faction by paying them off. The targeted faction must be under player protection for 3 months and players must be at peace with the targeted faction with a faction rating of at least +300.
  • Chi-Town Mogul – Claim victory by owning 40% of all rackets, with each of them upgraded to maximum level. Players still have the option to continue playing after seeing this victory screen!
• Improved Police: Handle the cops by managing your Police Activity number, a precinct-wide value representing the amount of police presence on the streets. Police Activity levels are affected by numerous factors including bribery, the strength (or weakness) of diplomatic relations, and the vice investment level.
• New Depot and Safehouse interiors, as well as Gun Store, Mob Lawyer, and Boxing Club Improvement Buildings

Empire of Sin’s Make It Count expansion will cost $14.99 while the Precinct update will be free to all players.
