DECEIVE INC. Steam Next Fest Multiplayer Demo Out Now
Developer Sweet Bandits Studios and publisher Tripwire Presents are happy to announce the release of a free PC demo for the upcoming espionage multiplayer title DECEIVE INC. on Steam as part of Steam Next Fest, which begins today, Feb. 6, and runs through Feb. 13. In addition, players can also look forward to joining the DECEIVE INC. cross-platform Open Beta, scheduled to run from March 10 @ 2 p.m. EST through March 13 @ 11 a.m. EST, with the game available to play for free on all supported platforms. ˜
DECEIVE INC. launches on March 21, 2023, on PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), the PlayStation®5 computer entertainment system, and the Xbox Series X|S console systems.
New players can expect hands-on time with all eight launch-day agents while they explore and master the art of espionage on two multiplayer maps: “Hard Sell” and “Silver Reef.” Hard Sell takes place at a luxurious mansion on a private island next to the Mediterranean Sea. Offering a mix of wide-open courtyards and close-quarter rooms, Hard sell features a little bit of everything that DECEIVE INC. has to offer. Silver Reef pits players against each other deep under the North Sea in an underwater luxury resort. Players will navigate glass tunnels, luxury restaurants, and guest rooms to hide from their opponents. To get the objective, agents will have to infiltrate a high-tech submarine docked at the hotel, which offers a close-quarters feel for those agents who enjoy a healthy dose of action while they’re in the field.
The companies have also shared new pre-order details for the title ahead of its multi-platform launch, with Steam pre-orders starting today. Aspiring agents can pre-purchase DECEIVE INC. for a MSRP of $19.99 USD to receive the “Founding Agent” Profile Portrait and Equipment Ink in-game cosmetics. Players can also pre-order the DECEIVE INC. Black Tie Edition for a MSRP of $29.99 USD to receive the “Dressed to Impress” Profile Portrait, Title, and Equipment Ink with an additional 1,000 Bonds (in-game premium currency). Pre-orders on the Epic Games Store and consoles will be available soon. Learn more and join the DECEIVE INC. community on the official Discord.
