CAMBRIDGE, U.K. — February 24, 2023  —  A macabre mix of rituals and terror will soon come to fans of horror games as today World Makers confirms more details and platforms for Deceit 2, the long-awaited follow up to the beloved social horror survival game Deceit. Along with all-new content, overhauled characters, and gameplay innovations, Deceit 2 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 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.”

Deceit 2 will be an evolution for asymmetric horror gameplay, bringing players an authentic terrifying atmosphere that permeates every aspect of the game. Deceit 2 will feature a massive overhaul of gameplay mechanics that will create a more tense and suspicious atmosphere for players as they attempt to figure out who among their friends is the Infected Terror stalking them. Combat will feature new items and abilities to empower the innocents as they defend themselves against the Infected, as well as interactive maps that create more intense chases. Deceit 2 will also offer narrative content to fans 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.


The game’s visuals also receive a huge makeover thanks to Unreal Engine 5, featuring more detailed characters and horrifying monstrosities, as well as higher-fidelity textures in maps. 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.
