At the Streamer Awards yesterday, World Makers debuted a new Deceit 2 teaser, giving fans their first look at the gameplay of the sequel to the 2017 social horror game. The teaser, narrated by the enigmatic Game Master, shows off the Ritual of Deceit and the Infected Banishing ritual, as well as the overhauled shooting mechanics and the twisted In-Between realm where the Innocent are at the mercy of the empowered Infected.
Watch the new Deceit 2 teaser below:
First announced last October, Deceit 2 includes three new characters, new maps, combat abilities and items, next-gen visuals developed in Unreal Engine 5 and even more new content. The player cap has been expanded from six to nine players to bring everything the social sandbox game has to offer into play. The teaser is narrated by the infamous Game Master villain in his rabbit-inspired costume, and goes over Deceit 2’s fleshed-out game mechanics.
During the Game Master’s Ritual of Deceit (the in-universe name for the game’s setting), the Infected can trigger Blood Altars to transport all players to the In-Between, a supernatural realm where they gain additional terrifying powers to hunt down the Innocent. One of the Innocent must die for the rest to escape from the In-Between, but the vigilant can put their detective skills to use to prevent such scenarios. Once an Infected has been “sussed out,” the Innocent can damage said Infected to trigger a banishing ritual at the risk of mis-identifying and killing one of their own.
Deceit 2 will release for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One sometime later in 2023, and can be wishlisted now. Stay tuned here at MP1st for all upcoming updates and announcements about the game.
