- Holiday Madness! New Faces? - 24 December 2024
Hello, Dealers and Narcos fans! It’s DDS Holiday Madness and we wanna share with you a little something straight from True Games Syndicate, the studio working on DDS x Narcos. One of the things currently occupying their minds is character modelling – so making sure new NPCs stand out! The talented people from the studio are working on shaping faces, texturing, and so on.

- Pedro Pascal’s Javier Peña confirmed + environment reveal - 19 November 2024
Hello there, Dealers! More and more is happening in the world of DDS x Narcos, and the True Games Syndicate team wants to share some of it with you today as part of DDS Madness 3.0! First of all, it's confirmed: DDS x Narcos will feature Javier Peña, a character portrayed by Pedro Pascal. Cheers to that! And secondly, a peek into the game’s world. DDS x Narcos will take you to the Ghetto in its less crime-ridden days, so you’ll be able to revisit the locations from DDS1 and see them in a different light. We don’t want to spoil too much… But then, we want to show a bit of the town from before the criminal revolution. Oh, and did we mention that DDS1 is coming to Xbox consoles? If you’re a console player and want to enter the world of dealing on a big TV, you can follow the game here.
- DDS Universe Roadmap: The Big Picture - 23 August 2024
High, Dealers! We have extensive plans around our DDS Universe, including all the games in the series. We want to share them so can better understand the timeline and priorities. The #1 priority is of course making DDS2 the best it can be via continuous improvements based on your feedback and the devs’ ambitions, so you can see how much space we’ll dedicate to that. Afterwards, we’ll focus on expanding the world through free content updates, DLCs, and DDSxNarcos. Oh, and we’ll have a surprise for the fans of DDS1.:) Without further ado… Here’s the plan! In order to keep an eye on the entire DDS Universe, consider following our DDS Franchise Page.

- DDS2 comic page 3! - 13 February 2024
And here we have the last page of our new short comic! Ready for the story finale? Dealers, time to look for Blunties! They are still waiting to be found. There will be 20 Blunties to find all around the (available) map. This time we made sure it will be much tougher to find them all. To make things interesting, some Blunties will only be visible at certain hours of the day. To win the reward (FULL GAME - DDS2, when it's released), you will need to find all 20 of them and send screenshots with proof to our email: [email protected]. There will be 5 winners of this challenge: first come, first served! BUT. Remember we have eyes everywhere so don’t post any Blunties you found for others to see. And don’t bother with data mining *wink wink*

So, the Next Fest has just started. Have you already seen we have a BETTER and UPDATED DDS2 demo? Gotta play it, I’m telling ya! And here’s a quick reminder of all the changes to the demo: Changes and new features: Significant rework of the early game questline for improved readability and more slow-paced step-by-step tutorials, so the beginning gameplay is less overwhelming, especially for single-player Reworked the crafting stations and packaging/unpackaging UI for more readability and quality of life. Visually divided substances and items, added client-side display of available/needed items or substances in the crafting recipe Added the player inventory as an optional source of crafting items (you can disable it in the UI if you want to) Added the sales tasklist to the package creation screen, so you can see the ordered drug list before packaging Reworked the wardrobe UI for more rea…

- FAQ 2.0 - 31 January 2024
Hey there, lords and dealers! Recently we’ve launched our FAQ, responding to the questions asked by YOU. Perhaps we were too mysterious - some of you wanted, nay, DEMANDED more insightful answers. And it was delightful! It’s delightful to know that you want to know more. You asked for it, so brace yourselves. Here’s FAQ 2.0: MEGA edition! It replaced the first FAQ as it became obsolete now. Question: Will there be some Breaking Bad references? Answer: We have to ask “the one who knocks”. And I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but our teaser has an easter egg. ;) However, I wouldn’t expect much more. We love Breaking Bad (who doesn’t?!), but we are already working with another beloved show and we are 100% committed to getting it right. We have more than enough to work with. The universe of Narcos is extensive, rich, and super immersive. Well, that’s what you get when you base your show on a…
