Deceive Inc. deploys you into the world of high-stakes subterfuge, working for a private corporation with complete monopoly over the international espionage market.

Welcome to Deceive Inc., a private corporation with complete monopoly over the international espionage market. You can disguise yourself as anyone you meet in an instant, have access to state-of-the-art gadgets the rest of the world can only dream of and possess skills that would make Hollywood super spies jealous.

But your are not alone. Rival spies are after the same objective and every single one of them is as skilled, cunning and well-equipped as you are.

Blend in, grab the objective and break out. In the end, only one spy can complete the mission and get the paycheck. Company policy.

Developer Sweet Bandits Studios and publisher Tripwire Presents, are happy to share that the DECEIVE INC. Open Beta deploys today for all supported platforms ahead of the game’s full launch.

The Deceive Inc. Open Beta, featuring cross-platform support, is scheduled to run from March 10 @ 2 p.m. EST through March 13 @ 11 a.m. EST, and will be available to play for free on all platforms that the game will support at launch. The open beta includes access to all eight launch-day agents and two maps: “Hard Sell” and “Fragrant Shore”, offering two distinctive locales to conduct expert espionage.

Aspiring agents looking to stake their claim on upcoming super spy assignments can pre-order the Deceive Inc. Standard Edition for a MSRP of $19.99 USD or the Deceive Inc. Black Tie Edition for a MSRP of $29.99 USD.

The latest developer diary takes a deep dive into the eccentric world of Deceive Inc., exploring its colorful cast of characters, diverse gadgetry, and unique locations. Deceive Inc. is set in a world where governments are prohibited from having their own intelligence services, which has led to a surge in privatized spy companies, including the titular Deceive Inc.

These agencies employ the best spies from across the globe, with each playable character having a distinct backstory and skillset to match a variety of different playstyles. Regardless of the agent players choose, there are a host of high-tech gadgets to help on missions such as an inflatable bouncing pad for a quick escape, a spyglass to obtain intel from afar, and even a device to mimic surrounding objects to hide in plain sight!

The developers also discuss the design philosophy for the maps and the look and feel of the game as a whole, citing a desire to blend classic spy fantasies with bright colors and bold lines to make each level, character, and object pop.

Create your loadouts from a plethora of highly versatile gadgets. With agent's favorites like the Inflatable mat, holo-mimic and bullet proof umbrella, our world-class R&D department got you covered. Literally.

Every Deceive Inc. agent is outfitted with a high-tech holographic watch allowing you to disguise yourself as guests, staff members or even security guards to gain access to restricted areas without arousing suspicion. Guaranteed to keep you hidden as long as you don’t shoot… or get shot.

Infiltrate sprawling locations filled with people to suspect, electronics to hack, restricted areas to trespass in and windows to jump from. How you get inside the vault and steal the objective is entirely up to you… and all the rival spies who will stop at nothing to beat you to it. No pressure.

Deceive Inc. is is coming to PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on March 21, 2023.
