The end of an era: Sweet Bandits closes, but Deceive Inc. is still alive

Last year, Sweet Bandits, in collaboration with Tripwire Presents, released Deceive Inc, a multiplayer stealth shooter about spies . Despite the fact that the game managed to attract the attention of the audience, the financial results were insufficient to ensure the stable existence of the talented Canadian team.

Gratitude from the developers and plans for the future

In their official statement on the closure of the studio, Sweet Bandits thanked the community for their support and said that they are looking for ways to keep Deceive Inc. servers running in the future. Currently, there are no plans to close the servers, so everyone still has the opportunity to play with friends or other players.

8 years of creativity

Sweet Bandits Studio has existed for 8 years, leaving behind two games. Their debut project, Coffence, went almost unnoticed. But Deceive Inc. achieved some success: according to SteamDB, the game attracted 8,632 players at its peak, and was also made available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, where it also gained an audience.

Despite the closure of the studio, Deceive Inc. remains alive for the community, which can still enjoy the unique gameplay. This game was an important milestone in the team's career and left a lasting impression on fans of the genre.
