Mission Impossible meets Keep talking nobody explodes in Co-op game “HACKTAG”
Get ready to sneak in, sneak out, and sneak off with friends as
independent videogame developer Piece of Cake Studios is thrilled to announce that its awardwinning
title, Hacktag, a 2-player infiltration stealth game with asymmetric co-operative
gameplay, will be available through Steam Early Access on May 18th, 2017. Additionally, Piece of
Cake is planning a closed beta scheduled for Thursday May 11 to give fans a free preview of the
early access version. Registration is already open and players are invited to sign-up here.
Hacktag has already won multiple industry awards for its promising and original gameplay. It’s a
2-player cooperative experience, available in both split screen and online mode, in which one
person taking on the role of a hacker while the other is the field agent. Stealth is key for both
players as they work together to successfully complete industrial espionage missions. With each
objective, Hacktag wants to ensure players feel like the heroes from all the best and greatest
heist movies.
“We’re incredibly happy to bring Hacktag to Steam Early Access for gamers all over the world to
experience the original and exciting cooperative gameplay. We’ve already been given a number
of industry awards and received a ton of positive feedback and can’t wait to see what others
think when it launches into Early Access this May. Creating a perfect 2-player co-op experience
that’s both exciting and balanced from two different points of view based on the two class
types – hacker and field agent – was very challenging. As big fans of the co-op genre we felt like
there was a void we needed to fill in co-op adventure experiences. Gamers, and especially
those who live on co-op gameplay, can expect to encounter multiple ways of being entertained
in Hacktag.” said Marine Lemaitre, Piece of Cake Studios co-founder.
In 2029, in a parallel world, you are a mercenary who secretly accomplishes missions for
corporations struggling for leadership. To succeed, you will team-up with another and infiltrate
corporations simultaneously in two ways: As the stealth agent, infiltrating physically the level
with an isometric 3D view and a fast infiltration gameplay with a rewarding arcade feeling. Or
as a hacker, infiltrating virtually the same level with a holographic blueprint vision. He moves on
a virtual network to quickly hack and interact with the cameras, doors, phones, and even coffee
machines.
