was Prelude, the latest cutscene made by Cishshato, which can be found in the Expansions tab.
This means that Entry Point is not dead, and it's not going away anytime soon.
Thus, I've decided that I'm sticking with EP for the foreseeable future.
I'm not going to be switching to other games any time soon.
I know a lot of you guys have asked me to switch to Notoriety, so I've been trying it
out recently.
Notoriety is OK and I might even make a video on it at some point, but this is definitely
not going to become a Notoriety channel.
I've been working on a Black Dusk guide for a long time now, but I haven't been able to
finish it due to technical difficulties.
I already have the mission figured out, so as soon as I can resolve the issues, the video
should be out.
Anyway, let's go into the theories-
The Freelance Heists are going to be an expansion, just like the Night Heists, which means that
they're not essential to understanding the story.
I'm not expecting any major plot twists or reveals from this.
You can think of Entry Point as having two stories, which are separate but have events
that happen at the same time.
You have the main story regarding Halcyon, Phoenix, the Shadow War, and so on, and then
you have the Freelancer's life and conflicts.
Starting in the Tutorial, these two merge and become one story, but before then, they
are separate.
Thus, I don't expect that Halcyon will be a big part of the Freelancer Heists.
However, I do expect that there will be at least one moment where the two stories temporarily
intersect.
There might be a mission, character, or easter egg related to Halcyon.
The Broker, who is the mysterious character pulling the strings in this cutscene, is likely
affiliated with Halcyon somehow.
It may even be a character we know, which is why Cish is keeping their identity anonymous.
My bets are on Julien Moreau, who is referenced in the Blacksite code.
Not much is known about Julien, other than he was a money launderer for Halcyon.
It makes sense for him to be the Broker, since he's trying to get rich.
However, after Halcyon discovered that he was stealing money from them, they sent a
team to take him out in Operation Ember Shroud.
The Prelude cutscene happens about a month and a half before Ember Shroud, so the timing
lines up well.
His execution at the hands of Halcyon could very well be the first intersection between
the two stories.
I also expect that we'll see when the Freelancer gets the Raven, since it's supposed to be
passed down to them from someone they used to know.
I suspect that this person might be one of the characters in the Freelance Heists.
Anyway guys, I'm super hyped for these missions and I'm trying to get the Black Dusk video
out.
I'll see you guys next time.
