New ‘Deceit 2’ Gameplay Revealed in Future Games Show Trailer [Watch]
After giving fans a tease back in March, developer World Makers revealed during the Future Games Show today a brand-new gameplay trailer for their upcoming asymmetric horror whodunnit, Deceit 2. As well, World Makers announced that it’s conducting an Open Beta for PC users to allow them to jump right in ahead of the game’s launch later this summer.
The new trailer marks the first extended look at Deceit 2‘s gameplay, featuring nine-player social strategic interplay, brand new items like the clipboard and mask, the new Healer role, and the terrifying new Terror design. As for the Open Beta, it will run until Monday, June 12. To access the Open Beta, players can sign up through the page on Deceit.gg and request access through the game’s Steam page. Players can also wishlist the game on Steam.
Rebuilt from the ground up using Unreal Engine 5, in Deceit 2, players enter one of the foreboding maps to figure out who among the group is a murderous Infected Terror. Featuring new items, nine player matches, and overhauled gameplay, Deceit 2 promises to be “a fully engrossing and truly terrifying multiplayer game where only the sane will survive.”
Deceit 2 is currently in development for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series and Xbox One.
Moon Studios dropped a new trailer during the Sony State of Play for their dark action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked, while also hinting at the long-awaited launch window for the full 1.0 release. The game, which has been in Early Access on Steam since April 2024, will be launching this October in full for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, while versions for the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive at a later date.
As a token of appreciation for supporters new and old, Moon Studios is offering an exclusive Early Access Founder’s Pack, a free limited edition bundle available for anyone who purchases the game on Steam prior to July 10, with rewards unlocking when 1.0 officially launches. PlayStation 5 users can receive the Early Access Founder’s Pack by pre-ordering the game once available, any time before launch day.
The Founder’s Pack includes:
- A New Secret Hideout: Spirit Cavern – The legacy of Moon Studios now lives inside No Rest for the Wicked, exclusively for Founders. A hand-crafted home that bridges both worlds.
- Sayer’s Vow: An all new Sword in the stone reserved just for the founders that only early adopters can extract in the game world.
- A Custom Founders Tag ensures players are clearly identified as early adopters.
- As a Founder member, players will get access to an exclusive Public Beta Test Realm reserved just for them, even after the 1.0 game launch.
As for the full 1.0 release, it will be a massive expansion of the core experience, introducing a staggering 60+ hours of new content, a new horde mode, powerful new weapons, bosses and enemies, new areas and a completely reimagined class system.
In No Rest for the Wicked, players take on the role of a “Cerim,” a member of a holy order imbued with mysterious powers, tasked with destroying the Pestilence, an ancient plague that has begun to consume the island Isola Sacra, itself already the site of great political upheaval and death.
