UE5-Powered Deceit 2 Receives First Gameplay Teaser Video; Features Items and Shooting Mechanics

A first gameplay teaser video has been released for the upcoming multiplayer first-person horror shooter, Deceit 2.

The teaser was shown yesterday during The Steamer Awards over the weekend and might provide a glimpse of what players can expect from the gameplay of this Unreal Engine 5-powered title from developer World Makers. You can check out the video below.

Deceit 2 Features

• DECEIVE AND MANIPULATE: Infected players can activate Blood Altars located across the map, weakening the veil of reality until it breaks. This transports all players to The In-Between, a parallel dimension in which the Infected have terrifying powers. Infected players will wreak havoc and sabotage the efforts of innocent players, but can be eliminated if exposed outside of the In-Between.
• HUNT AND KILL: Once the Infected players summon the In-Between, you’ll need to continue making progress towards escaping whilst evading the empowered Infected. Your mind will be warped as they chase you down amongst the horrors of the In-Between, and one player must die for the ritual to be satisfied. Who will be sacrificed?
• DEDUCE AND ESCAPE: Innocent players have power in numbers. They can eliminate any suspected Infected player by damaging them to trigger a banishing ritual. Make sure you’re convinced of their guilt though, or you’ll be thinning out your own team. Complete tasks and collect souls for the mysterious Peddler, who’ll exchange useful items to aid in investigations, survive the dreadful In-Between, and eventually escape.
• IMMERSIVE FREEDOM: Deceit 2 is designed as a social sandbox with unique and creative ways to play both roles. Social deception is at the core of this game—you’ll have to study other players’ behavior and evaluate the situation before making any hasty decisions. There are plenty of tools to assist but with item and map variations between games, you’ll need to adapt strategies on the fly.

The sequel to 2017’s asymmetric multiplayer horror was announced earlier this year. The first installment was downloaded by over 13 million players since its release. The sequel has yet to receive a release date.

“Deceit 2 ambitiously expands on the gameplay of the original Deceit while overhauling and enhancing features according to feedback from our devoted community,” said the CEO of World Makers, James Thompson, back in February of this year. “PC players should definitely wishlist on Steam now, but we’re also introducing the twisted world of Deceit to console players for the first time when Deceit 2 releases on Playstation and Xbox consoles this year.”

We’ll update you as soon as more information about this UE5-powered horror multiplayer shooter comes in. The game is coming to PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.
