Deceit 2: A Darker Asymmetric Horror

World Makers has confirmed that Deceit 2, the highly anticipated follow-up to its social horror survival game Deceit, will soon be coming to PC and consoles. The game will feature all-new content, overhauled characters, and gameplay innovations. It will also mark the franchise’s debut on consoles with a significant upgrade in graphics. The original Deceit, released in 2017 and downloaded by more than 13 million players, was one of the founding titles in the asymmetrical social horror genre, popularized by Deceit, Among Us, and Dead by Daylight.

Deceit 2 will offer an evolution in asymmetric horror gameplay, bringing players a terrifying atmosphere that permeates every aspect of the game. With an overhaul of gameplay mechanics, the game will feature more tense and suspicious gameplay as players try to figure out who among their friends is the Infected Terror stalking them. Combat will feature new items and abilities, and interactive maps that create more intense chases. The game will also offer narrative content featuring new and returning characters from the original Deceit, following the story of a mysterious ritual with blood and subterfuge in a multidimensional fight to survive.

Deceit 2 will also feature next-gen visuals, all-new visually stunning characters and maps built completely from the ground up for modern platforms in Unreal Engine 5. The player count has been upgraded to 9 players, offering more opportunities for strategy, but more chances that someone might be the Infected too. Players will also be able to trade with a new character “The Peddler” for weapons, items, and clues on Infected players.

“Deceit 2 ambitiously expands on the gameplay of the original Deceit while overhauling and enhancing features according to feedback from our devoted community,” said James Thompson, CEO, World Makers. “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.” More details on the game will be announced soon.
