Tripwire Presents, the publishing division of indie devs Tripwire Interactive, announced they will be publishing an upcoming game from fellow indie devs Sweet Bandits Studio, Decieve Inc.
Decieve Inc. is described as “a tense multiplayer game of subterfuge, deduction, and ingenuity set in the groovy world of international espionage”.
As a team of spies, you have access to various gadgets to help you reach your objective before the opposing team of spies do so. You can make use of gadgets and even disguise yourself as anyone you see. Each agent has their own unique weapon and skill-set.
This will be the second game by Sweet Bandits Studios, a team of 17 developers with working experience at other AAA game studios including Beenox, Ubisoft, Gearbox Software and Frima. Their first title is the weird fighting game about fighting over coffee, Coffence.
In this partnership with Tripwire, Sweet Bandits retain creative control of the development of Decive Inc., while Tripwire will provide experience and resources to support the developers, as well as handle the marketing for the game.
Decieve Inc. will also be the fourth game to be published under the Tripwire Presents banner, following Espire 1: VR Operative, Road Redemption and most recently, Chivalry 2.
There’s no trailer for the game yet.
However, Tripwire has revealed in a new trailer they are looking for game pitches to continue helping other indie devs via their publishing division.
Decieve Inc. is targeting an early 2023 release window for the PS5, PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), and Xbox Series X|S.
