‘Deceit 2’ Halloween Update Adds New Cosmetics, New Warden Feature

Published

on

World Makers’ Deceit 2 is getting a Halloween makeover for its first post-launch event. Starting today until Monday, November 6, players can complete tasks to earn candy and redeem limited-edition cosmetic skins. According to the developers, the Halloween update serves as “the first step” in improving Deceit 2‘s gameplay experience and ensuring the game is accessible to more people.

“While our Halloween event might look sweet on the outside, the Game Master never shies away from the true intent of his Ritual of Deceit,” said James Thompson, CEO, World Makers. “While our launch was not what we originally envisioned, we’re focused on providing quality-of-life improvements and addressing feedback to provide the best gameplay experience for our community. Players will start to see these changes in our first post-launch event, which pays tribute to All Hallows Eve and the terrors that lurk in the shadows.”

The Deceit 2 Halloween update allows Innocents and Terrors alike to complete tasks to earn candy and redeem for themed cosmetics in the Emporium. The new skins include:

  • Awaken Terror skin – the first Terror skin for Deceit 2
  • Masquerade skins from the original Deceit. As a bonus, those who earned the skins in Deceit will have them available for free in Deceit 2
  • New costumed skins for the characters introduced in Deceit 2:
    • Soul Buster Priya
    • Cultist Jak
    • Friday 13th Beck

The update adds more than just skins. The game introduces the new Warden role, which allows the selected Human to banish any player. However, the new role comes with a wicked twist: if a fellow Human is banished, then the Warden will be eliminated, too.

Deceit 2 is available now on Steam, with PlayStation and Xbox versions coming in late Fall 2023 with crossplay support. Players can sign up for the official Deceit 2 mailing list at www.deceit.gg to stay in the loop for future game updates, including the upcoming DLC featuring the Wyrtorn terror.

Originally conceived of by a team of modders, the Killing Floor franchise has entertained (and horrified) more than 30+ million players worldwide, delivering years of guns, gore, and co-op mayhem. As part of the franchise anniversary celebrations, Killing Floor 2 will be free-to-play from May 16-20 on Steam, the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, the Xbox One and Xbox Series, and is on sale on all storefronts, including the Epic Games Store.

Fans can check the official Killing Floor social channels for specifics on these special anniversary, as well as the limited time discounts on Killing Floor 2. All progress made and rewards earned during this free weekend will be carried over to full accounts following purchase, including Perk levels and weapon unlocks.

Meanwhile, the first developer diary for Killing Floor 3 is also available, which “drills into the bloody history and legacy of the franchise, and how the studio is returning to its horror roots with the upcoming sequel.”
