This repository serves as an archive of all official Deus Ex: Breach daily Ghost Networks since the day the feature was released (2017-07-14).
Note that the JSON data has been left in the original format provided by the real-world upstream server; it has not been beautified. This is because the JSON parser in the game is finicky and will sometimes fail to parse the data if the formatting is changed. To beautify JSON data, use a tool such as CodeBeautify.org or use Python from the command line:
python -m json.tool 2017-02-14.json
GitHub Actions can run the fetch script automatically and commit the resulting file into ghost_networks/YYYY-MM-DD.json. The workflow lives at .github/workflows/fetch-ghost-network.yml and can also be triggered manually with workflow_dispatch.
The workflow checks once per hour and skips the fetch if the current UTC date already has a JSON file in ghost_networks/. This means transient failures will be retried hourly until that day's file is successfully committed.
GitHub scheduled workflows are not guaranteed to run at an exact minute, so this should be treated as hourly best-effort polling rather than a precise timer.
Ghost Networks were (seemingly) never generated by Eidos/Square Enix for the following inclusive date ranges (a total of 77 days):
- 2020-08-11 - 2020-08-26
- 2020-11-19 - 2020-11-23
- 2020-12-01 - 2020-12-06
- 2021-12-20 - 2022-01-04
- 2023-01-11
- 2024-06-20 - 2024-06-24
- 2024-08-27 - 2024-09-10
- 2024-10-09 - 2024-10-14
- 2025-03-06 - 2025-03-12
Evidence that the missing networks were likely never created can be found in the following posts on social media:
Note also that the Ghost Networks on the first day after each missing range were created on the same day they were published (2020-08-27, 2020-11-24, 2020-12-07, and 2022-01-05). Any missing Ghost Networks after 2020 were confirmed in-game by me personally.
