Phantom: Covert Ops kicks off in 1991. In the wake of the Cold War, intelligence indicates a significant force consolidating at an inaccessible former Soviet naval facility off the coast of the Black Sea.

You are a Phantom: an elite and deadly covert operative with a single night to prevent all-out war. Dispatched into remote, hostile wetlands in your tactical kayak, utilize military-grade weapons and equipment to evade and neutralize the enemy threat. Immerse yourself in a gritty and authentic arena of war across an intense campaign in VR. Engage your targets lethally or infiltrate unnoticed from within the shadows: it’s your mission to execute your own way.

As the threat emerges from the shadows, it becomes clear you have a single night to prevent an attack that will create global repercussions.

The game encourages you to approach every enemy encounter in your own way across an explosive campaign of missions with diverse objectives. Feel like sneaking silently in the watery shadows whilst causing distractions to create a clear path through hostile territory? Go for it! Alternatively, ambush enemies head on by setting explosives and using the sniper rifle. It’s your mission to undertake as you see fit.

Available later today, there will be a new update for Phantom: Covert Ops on Oculus Quest and Rift platforms. This update includes fixes to the game, a number of new achievements, optimisation for the Oculus Quest 2 headset and a rebalance to the campaign’s scoring system making the challenge maps and cheats in the main campaign more attainable.
