INDUSTRIA 2 launch delayed to April 29th2026-04-15Hey everyone!INDUSTRIA 2 is delayed to April 29th.We can imagine that for those people who waited eagerly or even set aside some free time today to play the game once it's out (like I read from a fan earlier), this must be very disappointing and very frustrating. Especially this close to the release. We promised something and didn't make it happen and we are sorry for that. The only reason to delay this, is to make this game more fun for everyone.It's totally fine if you stop reading here, but if you want a more open and transparent peak behind the development curtain please go ahead:It's truly unbelievable to hear for us, that people care th

INDUSTRIA 2 Dev Update #4: Wrapping up gamescom, the demo and feedback2025-09-18Hey everyone!August was a crazy time for us here at bleakmill. For the first time in 10 years, we brought together almost the whole team in person. As some of you know, we all work remote from all over the world on INDUSTRIA 2. But with having a playable showfloor demo at gamescom this year, we decided to finally step into planes and hug each other for a 4 year late “congrats-for-releasing-industria”-hug.As if that wasn't enough, we had six computers constantly being used by people visiting the gigantic booth our publisher Headup set up. We had some hardcore INDUSTRIA-fans popping by, as well as people from Naughty Dog and Crytek checking out
INDUSTRIA 2 Dev Update #3: Combining the puzzle pieces2025-07-24Hey all! It’s been a while!Today we are happy to share another commented gameplay video. INDUSTRIA 2 is part of the Games Forged In Germany event and therefore, we decided to give you all another glimps into one of INDUSTRIA 2ˋs levels: the cannery.Keep in mind that what your about to see is work in progress footage, so expect some things to change.One of the most interesting things for us, was to have a full circle of INDUSTRIA 2ˋs core gameplay in a coherent, well looking level. In the last year we have worked on countless gameplay systems, like AI for enemies and companion, the diegetic inventory including crafting, multiple weapons, an up
INDUSTRIA 2 Dev Update #2: Some more details on our brand-new story trailer!2025-03-20Greetings all! Today we want to share with you a brand-new story trailer we made for INDUSTRIA 2. Maybe you have seen it already in the Future Games Show Spring Showcase or on the product page, if not, have a go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QHsewJZ7Eo We put a loooot of love into this one, as we decided to show you a bunch of new levels, one of the main characters and also the new enemies in action.

After surviving alone for years, trying to find a way back hom
INDUSTRIA 2 Dev Update #1: Diving deeper into enemies and environment art2025-02-13Hey everyone! It's time for another update on what's happening behind the scenes. Since this year started, we have been hard at work to get our new enemies designed, modeled, textured, animated and moving around the world of INDUSTRIA 2. The other thing we spent some time on, was refining our environment art workflows. Since we started, we often came back to Half-Life: Alyx and their environment design workflows. We are a young studio, learning a lot as we make this second game. So to learn good environment art, we came to the conclusion to look at games who did it right. For us long term Valve game fans, it was an easy choice: Half-Life: Aly
Wrapping up the feedback of the first INDUSTRIA 2 playtest!2025-01-08Happy New Year everyone! This is David, from the bleakmill team. To conclude the year 2024 here at bleakmill, we wanted to give you a little update on what we have been up to in the last months. Mainly, we want to fill you in on the outcome of the first internal playtest we did with about 20 players and long term community members this December. When we started making INDUSTRIA 2, we knew that we would need in depth playtesting to make sure the game is, in its core, fun and entertaining. Especially because we planned to make a few changes to the combat and AI systems from the prequel. In INDUSTRIA, the combat mainly results in the enemies see
8 Minutes of commented gameplay out of INDUSTRIA 2!2024-08-23Hey hey everyone! Since the release of INDUSTRIA 2 is still quite some time away we skip gamescom 2024. We are making great progress and are super happy with how our baby is developing, but give us a little more time. After all, good things take time, right? BUT we don't want to leave you here without at least a few new insights! Almost 2 months ago, we published a 2-minute gameplay trailer that showed the first gameplay after the announcement of the game in March. We've now added (mysteriously missing) 6 minutes so that you can now watch a total of 8 minutes gameplay from INDUSTRIA 2. Among other things, it includes combat against the arachn
Fixed Save game Corruption2024-03-26Hey INDUSTRIAN's, we heard that some of you have a very annoying bug which corrupts save games, especially from the Canal chapter. This results in long loading times and eventually leads to a game crash. Thank you all for reporting this one. We just deployed a hotfix which resolves this issue. Your corrupted save game files should now load as expected. All the best from the team!
Nora’s Journey continues with INDUSTRIA 2!2024-03-21Dear INDUSTRIANS, David here. Long time no talk! So, how have you been? It's been a while since the overwhelming release day of INDUSTRIA 2.5 years ago. And finally we can reveal what we've been secretly working on since then! All of you who have followed our Twitter (or "X") channel over the last few months will probably already have had a glimpse at some of the GIFs we have been sharing. The response was pretty intense on every post and many people were already guessing the game's name: INDUSTRIA 2. Today we can confirm: You guessed right! It really is a relief that we can finally talk officially about INDUSTRIA 2. Just a few minutes ago we

You will be granted with a commentary of either us two co-founders David and Steve, or our Sound Designer Clemens, our composer Lukas or even INDUSTRIA's animators Ben and Gabriel.

INDUSTRIA 1.2.1: Hotfix for bugged savegames and low performance on load2022-06-25Dear INDUSTRIANS, this is a quick hotfix for low performance on loading save games. Some players experienced low FPS when loading a save game, but this should now be fixed. We are sorry for any annoying situations here! Changes: Fixed a bug where save games would load with very load FPS (if at all) Added an achievement tracker to the pause menue Fixed floating pick ups Apart from that, some of you report crashes on load, which should also be fixed with this update.

INDUSTRIA Update 1.2.0 is available: Weapon Balancing, Level Rework, and more!2022-06-24Dear Industrians! Update 1.2.0 is now available! And it's by far the most comprehensive update we've released for INDUSTRIA to date. We mainly focused on polishing or completely redesigning some unfinished looking areas in the levels. In places, INDUSTRIA is a completely new experience - especially in areas of the leves "Streets" and "Canal". In addition, we've adjusted the balancing of the weapons, adjusted the amount of ammo distributed in the levels, reworked the save system and made a big bunch of general fixes and adjustments. In total, update 1.2.0 adds around 100 changes/additions/fixes/adjustments to INDUSTRIA: Office: Added white noi

INDUSTRIA Update 1.1.0 is available: Hardcore Achievement & Performance2022-05-20Dear Industrians! We know, its been a while. As we explained before, we had to go back to our day jobs after INDUSTRIA came out, limiting us how much time we can spend on updates. Apart from that, we also try to get the next project rolling as well, but we finally found time to drop version 1.1.0 which includes: A fix for the *long* awaited Hardcore Achievement not popping up Better performance from the Street Level on Various small cosmetic fixes Corrected brightness issues in Streets and Canal levels Main menu now supports game keybindings Fixed a bug with 'Restore Defaults' keybind option which wouldn't correctly reset under specific circu
INDUSTRIA Update 1.0.7 is available: Performance, UE version, fixes and more!2022-01-03Dear Industrians! Since the announcement of the new update for INDUSTRIA almost another whole month has passed. We know some of you are disappointed for it taking so long. We would have loved to patch earlier but the game crash bug most of you experience forced us to upgrade the whole project to the new engine version UE 4.27. This can bring in its own new bugs and problems, so we tried to be careful with that. This patch is mainly about fixing the crash, but also features a few other cool things. Here are the patch notes for 1.0.7: Upgraded to Unreal Engine 4.27 for improved stability (fixing the train crash) Performance optimisations to str
We are working on a new INDUSTRIA Update: Performance, UE Version, and more!2021-11-26Hey there fellow Industrians, We've been pretty quiet over the past weeks, but don't worry, we haven't forgotten about you and INDUSTRIA. But life goes on, and currently we are in the process of figuring out what happens next for Steve, me and Bleakmill. Exciting, but also tough decisions. But as I said, we haven't forgotten INDUSTRIA and you, of course. And as promised, we are still working on improving the game - especially when it comes to performance. That is why, among other things, we have decided to update the Unreal Engine version once again. Here is a list of what to expect from the upcoming update: Performance Optimization for the S
