Deceit News

Dear all,

We've been working hard on the new map update, however, this is taking longer than previously expected. We are looking to release this as soon as possible and will share more information with you when we can.

Thanks for your patience.

Hi all,

Following on from our announcement in January, we wanted to give you an update to what’s happening with Deceit.

Firstly, we’re going to be releasing an update shortly which will provide further server-stability & countermeasures in the case of direct, intentional attacks by malicious members of the community. As a reminder to all members of the community, we take any threat to Deceit or the enjoyment of our players seriously, and anyone found to be violating our community rules of conduct will be punished including possibly being permanently banned from the game.

We’re also looking to release the map to you by the end of April. We’ll look to share photos of the new area before we share this with you in the community.

As we announced back in January, the studio’s focus is on other projects, primarily Mavericks: Proving Grounds. We have plans to bring a number of the new technical capabilities we are developing for Mavericks back into Deceit. We don’t expect these new features to make their way over until next year, as we focus the studio on other projects.

We can’t wait to show you the new map and let us know what you think in the comments or on Discord.

Hi all,

As part of the Steam Lunar Sale, both the Vampire Pack DLC and the Werewolf Pack DLC are available for 20% off their regular price!

On top of the new playable Terror's, these packs also include GM Credits, Loot Booth Tokens, additional melee weapons and in-game cosmetics.

Happy lunar new year!

Hi all,

We hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year and are enjoying Deceit now that Halloween has finally finished. We wanted to provide you with an update with what’s going on in the studio at the moment and what’s coming up in the short- and longer-term for Deceit.

In the short term, the studio’s priorities are primarily focussed on other projects, primarily Mavericks: Proving Grounds. This won’t come as a surprise to many of you. Because of this, the game is not going to be heavily developed from a technical standpoint for the next 6+ months – this means no major updates, no substantial new changes.

However, you were promised a new map and we are working on this presently.

Many in the studio still want to help Deceit grow and develop and so, on their own time, teams are helping finalise the new map before we share it with you all. Exact timelines are unknown currently, but we expect to share this before the end of March.

This doesn’t mean Deceit is dead, far from it. With the new platform and technology going into Mavericks, the studio’s plan is to bring over some of these new capabilities into Deceit. This will however take time and we expect for these substantial changes to be incorporated towards the end of 2019.

So, with so little happening technically, and future plans a long way off, what are we doing in the interim? We plan on doing a number of community-focused activities and events including in-game tournaments, competitions (e.g. Fan Art, Cosplay), amongst some other initiatives which we’ll be sharing more information about in the coming weeks.

Let us know what you think about what’s coming up on our Discord, we’d appreciate the feedback and comments you have.

Hi all,

We’ve left you in the dark without any updates or communications about what’s happening with Deceit. So first thing, we’re sorry.

We’ve been putting a lot of resource into Mavericks: Proving Grounds and this has left our team thin-on-the-ground, to say the least. Not an excuse, just a reason. You have bought into a game and we should have kept you all informed.

So what’s coming up for Deceit? Immediately, many of you will be happy to know that Halloween has finally finished. Whilst we aren’t going to be running any Christmas events, we are going to be holding a Double-XP weekend event this weekend from 00:00 GMT 22/12/18 till 23:59 GMT 23/12/18.

Staff will be taking some time off over the holiday period for some well-deserved rest, and we are looking to bring further updates to Deceit in the New Year.

We’re still in the process of developing the Lumberyard map and would like to grant assurances that it will be coming in the new year.
