Developer Sweet Bandits Studios and publisher Tripwire have just released a new developer diary for their upcoming Deceive Inc. The video takes a deep dive into how the game mixes stealth and fast-paced action to create a tense cat-and-mouse game between each spy.

Deceive Inc. developers also discuss the inception of the Sweet Bandits Studios alongside its collaborative partnership with publisher Tripwire Presents, and how they were the right partner to support their vision for Deceive Inc.. 

The studio expresses its intent to make each mission in the game feel like a spy-vs-spy action movie from the 70s. With a plethora of modern and futuristic gadgets to play with, and every person, or object, on the map can be a threat to escaping with the objective.

Here is a brief description of the game according to its Steam page: 

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 you 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.

Deceieve Inc. is currently scheduled for release in early 2023 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Those interested in the game might also want to check out our own hands-on preview with Deceive Inc., just to make sure it aligns with their taste in games.
