Four new side missions, an additional weapon, improved melee combat and a host of gameplay refinements arrive alongside full Razer Chroma integration.
November 6, 2026. Publisher IZilla Games and developer AttritoM7 Productions will release the Contracts Update for BLACKWOOD, today bringing a substantial new content drop to Act 1 alongside gameplay improvements, new weapons, additional music and a range of fixes. Available now, the update adds several side missions players can tackle between story missions, giving Anton three new contracts to take on as he builds his criminal empire.
The new contracts introduce a varied set of challenges, including a wave-based shooter, a drifting trial, and a sniper mission. Whether players prefer testing their aim, taking on waves of enemies, or putting their driving skills to the test, there are new ways to step away from the main story and earn their keep.
The Contracts Update for BLACKWOOD Act 1 will be available from 6pm UK / 7pm CET / 1pm EST / 10am PST today. Check out the new trailer for a closer look at the latest additions and improvements.
