Okay, so here’s the deal. Let me paint you a picture—Triangular Pixels, this indie gaming studio, right? They’re throwing us back into the wild world of VR with a sequel to their OG spy game, Unseen Diplomacy. Honestly, it’s giving me major ‘90s tech vibes mixed with that futuristic edge. So yeah, it’s hitting Quest 3 and SteamVR this year. Or at least that’s the plan.
Back in 2016, they kind of blew minds with how you moved around in the game. Like, they tricked you into thinking you were traversing these vast places by bending and twisting the in-game rooms around you. If that makes any sense at all. Anyway, fast forward, and boom—Unseen Diplomacy 2: Spy Harder is stepping up its game.
Katie Goode from Triangular Pixels throws in, “We’ve ramped everything up! It’s like the first game on steroids but in the best ways.” I guess they’re adding deeper stuff like campaign modes and intricate gameplay layers. Picture this: You, a spymaster (fancy title, right?), are not just managing a whole secret agency but physically getting down and dirty too. I’m talking crawling, rolling, dodging lasers—basically living that spy life, retro-futuristic style.
There’s this neat touch with gadgets, wire clippers, disguises—oh, and blow darts if subtlety’s not your thing. The thing that gets me? Every time you play, it’s a bit different; they’ve set it up so the game shifts and changes based on how much space you’ve got and the choices you make. Keeps it fresh, I suppose.
And there’s this whole strategy layer tossed in now. You’re not just spying; you’re like, playing puppet master with rogue agents and missions. Global stability is at stake, no less. Heavy stuff.
While there’s not a solid launch date—2025 is the closest we got—you can totally wishlist it on the Horizon Store or Steam. Mixed reality mode is in the mix too. Guess we’ll see how it goes once it’s out in the wild. Here’s hoping it lives up to the hype!
