'Phantom Doctrine' (ALL) Gets Update And Halloween DLC Today, Switch Edition Next Year

by Rainier on Oct. 29, 2018 @ 10:00 a.m. PDT

Phantom Doctrine is a turn-based tactical Cold War espionage game.

Set in 1983 during the Cold War, Phantom Doctrine is an alternate history thriller in which players lead The Cabal, a secret organization dedicated to fighting a global conspiracy committed to controlling the world by pitting world leaders and nations against one another. Deception is the great equalizer as players will have to operate from the shadows to exploit every vulnerability - ruthlessly interrogate and brainwash enemies and allies alike to create double agents, saboteurs or unwitting collaborators.

Develop your base of operations in the shadows, investigating cases, recruit & train agents from the world’s many factions, forging documents and identities, researching new tech, and interrogating and brainwashing enemies for strategic advantage.

Today’s free update, which will automatically download for Steam owners, includes several content additions and gameplay refinements drawn from community feedback. Phantom Doctrine now features double the number of Investigation Board aliases, as well as improvements to UI, animations and mechanics. It also includes new character customization options. Two bonus online multiplayer maps – Unit Theta and Safehouse – bring the game’s ruthless matches to fresh environments. Finally, by overwhelmingly popular demand, the ‘Actor’ perk can be restored to its original functionality as a selectable option, making it easier for players who prefer stealth to stay in the shadows.

Phantom Doctrine has also added the new free “Halloween Scare Tactics” DLC, available to download exclusively on Steam and GOG.com. “Halloween Scare Tactics” features a fun variety of spooky Halloween-themed character customization choices, level decorations and destructible pumpkins.

As an extra treat, clever agents can pick up Phantom Doctrine or Phantom Doctrine – Deluxe Edition, which includes the game’s soundtrack and digital art book, for 25% off from now until Nov. 1 during Steam’s Halloween sale.

UF GAMES will publish Phantom Doctrine game (CreativeForge Games S.A.) on the Nintendo Switch! The planned premiere date of the Phantom Doctrine game on the Nintendo Switch console is 1/2 quarter of 2019. The game will be ported and released on the Nintendo Switch in cooperation with Forever Entertainment S. A.

Dive into Phantom Doctrine’s deep single-player mode, which offers players two different campaign backgrounds to choose from: experience its story from the perspective of either a KGB counterintelligence operative or a renegade CIA wet work commando. Phantom Doctrine’s turn-based missions are uniquely designed to encourage player choice – drop your operatives into the field with heavy weapons for an all-out assault, or deploy them with suppressed weapons and cutting-edge spy equipment to complete the mission stealthily. Position assets around the world, infiltrating hot zones with undercover operatives to back you up in a firefight and stay one step ahead of enemy agents.

Decode and analyze your way through immersive investigations to expose far-reaching conspiracies and elusive targets. Delve into the oppressive dark corners of the volatile 1980s with atmospheric visuals and an unnerving soundtrack by the award-winning composer Marcin Przybylowicz, of The Witcher 3 fame.

In addition to its more than 40-hour single-player story mode, players can also challenge rivals around the world in ruthless one-on-one online multiplayer matches, as well as unlock a New Game Plus campaign with additional story content.

Phantom Doctrine is currently available on PS4, Xbox One and PC for $39.99.
