Exclusive info about the game’s playable Agents, open beta, cosmetics, and more.

Welcome to Deceive Inc. – the multiplayer PvP game of social deception and subterfuge. The teams at Sweet Bandits and Tripwire Presents have been hard at work polishing this game for release. We’re all incredibly excited for the coming weeks, and now it’s time to share that excitement with you!

About Deceive Inc.  

Deceive Inc. is a multiplayer hero shooter with an emphasis on social stealth and deception where 12 players (either solo or in teams of 3) are tasked with becoming the Agents and successfully extracting with an objective.

Every Agent spawns undercover, cloaked as one of the many NPCs populating the map. Armed with their unique weapons and abilities – plus a couple of hi-tech spy gadgets for good measure – they must use their knowledge of spycraft to suss out other players, avoid detection, gather intel, purchase upgrades, and ultimately locate then extract the precious cargo.

Deceive Inc. launches globally March 21

Deceive Inc. will launch on PlayStation 5 on March 21 of this year. We’ll also be hosting an Open Beta featuring full crossplay support starting March 10 – free for all players who want to try the game out.

Meet the Agents

Deceive Inc. will have 8 playable agents available at launch, each falling under one of four archetypes:

  • Vanguard: Well-rounded, self-reliant fighters that can get through the thick and thin 
  • Tracker: Focused on finding, singling out, and hunting down targets
  • Scoundrel: Sly, cunning, and use dirty tricks to get ahead of the competition
  • Disruptor: Experts at controlling space and disturbing the flow of fights

Rupert Reid aka “Squire”

Adaptable Recruit

Starting Weapon: PT-08 Lance Silenced Pistol
Archetype: Vanguard

As Deceive Inc’s youngest agent, Squire constantly feels the weight of his mentor’s legacy on his shoulders. However, don’t let his impostor syndrome fool you. He’s a top of the line operative, capable of the best.

Tamar Zaken aka “Ace”

Relentless Huntress

Starting Weapon: ‘Queen of Diamonds’ Scoped Sniper Rifle
Archetype: Tracker

A sharp-eyed mercenary, Ace’s unique skills have made her one of Deceive Inc’s pillars. She tracks her rivals without fail. Believe us, once you figure out you are her target, it’s already too late.

Ethan Chavez aka “Chavez”

Rugged Veteran

Starting Weapon: ‘Sentinel’ Revolver
Archetype: Vanguard

A true legend of the spy world, Chavez uses his strength and his kind heart to fight the good fight. He’s supposed to be retired by now, but he’s back for one last mission… or so he says.

Madame Xiu

Enigmatic Dame

Starting Weapon: ‘Zhulong’ Automatic Crossbow
Archetype: Scoundrel

There are a lot of rumors circulating about Madame Xiu, her past, and her abilities. Deceive Inc. can’t confirm any of them without breaching their contract with her, which is a dangerous game to play with such a cutthroat and enigmatic lady. 

Hans Moritz aka “Hans”

Imposing Provocateur

Starting Weapon: ‘The Hook’ Hand-mounted Shotgun
Archetype: Disruptor

Once a head honcho of a super criminal empire, Hans used to have it all. Now forced to serve his sentence as a Deceive Inc. agent, he swears he’ll regain back his former power and glory.

Florence Jacques aka “Cavalière” 

Unflinching Investigator

Starting Weapon: ‘Dragoons’ Alternating Dual Pistols
Archetype: Tracker

Brash detective Cavalière leaves no stone unturned… And if her deduction skills are not enough to keep you in check, her serious combat abilities learned during her globe-trotting days will do the talking.

Francois Claudet aka “Larcin” 

Gentleman Thief

Starting Weapon: ‘Silence’ Throwable Pocket Pistol
Archetype: Scoundrel

Gentleman thief and professional borrower, Larcin has made quite a name for himself with his peculiar savoir faire and showmanship. His charms are such that you won’t even be mad when noticing previous items missing from your pockets.

Yu-Mi Kwon aka “YU-MI” 

Raucous Gadgeteer

Starting Weapon: Tactical Slingshot
Archetype: Disruptor

Brilliant and happy-go-lucky, Yu-Mi’s enthusiasm to be a part of Deceive Inc. is only matched with her ability to create and break things around her. Some may say she’s a stubborn brat, but her tactical capabilities and her inventiveness tend to make her rivals eat their words.
