Play as the stealth-agent on the field or as the virtually-infiltrated Hacker and work together to carry out espionage missions where nothing goes as expected!

In 2029, in a parallel world, you are a mercenary who secretly accomplishes missions for corporations struggling for leadership. To succeed you will have to team-up by 2 and infiltrate corporations simultaneously in two ways : As the stealth agent, infiltrating physically the level with an isometric 3d view and a fast infiltration gameplay with a rewarding arcade feeling. Or as the hacker infiltrating virtually the same level with a holographic blueprint vision. He moves on a virtual network to quickly hack and interact with the cameras, doors, phones or coffee machines…

Each new mission/level is procedurally generated. Split-screen and online modes are both available. While one of the player handles the stealth/infiltration part of the gameplay, the other team member hacks the environment real-time through a series of mini-games to help its fellow agent avoid security guards, unlock doors, trigger alarms and telephones, collect data from computers...etc.

Piece of Cake Studios is launching a Hacktag Open Beta giving fans a free preview of the Early Access version on Monday May 15th. Registration is already open and players are invited to sign-up here. Initially planned for May 18, Hacktag will debut its Steam early access campaign on June 1st to deliver more content and a flawless online experience.

“Besides all the very positive feedback we are getting from the closed-beta session that is running since May 11, we have decided to delay the beginning of our Early Access campaign in order to ensure that the online experience is as good as the splitscreen mode without any connectivity issue. Everyone at Piece of Cake Studios is very excited to hear our players thoughts and the team is ready to tackle any bugs and issues that are reported. We are thankful to everyone willing to participate and help us test the game network features in various conditions, especially because the co-operative gameplay is at the heart of Hacktag”, said Marine Lemaitre CEO of Piece of Cake studios.
