Hello Residents!

We wanted to share a quick status update on the next First Class Trouble patch.

We’re currently getting everything into certification and making sure we’re ready to ship as soon as we possibly can. This has taken a bit longer than expected, which means we’re now aiming to release the update in January 2026 - sorry for being a bit too optimistic.

This first update is primarily a technical upgrade, focused on making sure the foundation of the game is solid before we build on top of it - as it has not been updated by the former license rights owners for a few years.

The main goals of this update are:

• Upgrading First Class Trouble to Unreal Engine 5

• Migrating all player accounts away from the old backend environment previously operated by Versus Evil / tinyBuild

• Ensuring accounts, progression, and unlocks continue to work exactly as intended

Because of this, the first update won’t include a lot of brand-new content. This step is all about stability and longevity — once everything is running smoothly, we’ll be in a much better position to roll out new content and improvements not long after.

Here is a little peak at a new model to symbolize the new update that is to come modelled by Rosa and textured by Kasper:

On the bright side, this means we don’t have to tear down the Christmas decorations on the ISS Alithea just yet 🎄✨ The halls stay festive a little longer: Altihea will continue for a bit in perpetual Christmas ;)

Here at Invisible Walls, the team is working hard to get this update ready, while also pushing forward on Neighbors: Suburban Warfare as it heads toward its 1.0 release and developing an awesome Season 6 for Deep Rock Galactic. It’s a busy time for the studio, but First Class Trouble remains very close to our hearts - it is after all our firstborn baby.

We’ll also be celebrating the season with holiday events hosted by our awesome moderators over on Discord! Make sure to join and follow along if you want to take part, you’ll be able to earn exclusive holiday-themed skins during these events. Moreover, we have a little holiday channel where you can share pictures of your holidays.

As a side note then all of Invisible Walls game will go on Discount during Steams winter sale - so look out for that very soon - we are also going to try to bundle them together for some more holiday discount :)
