Octeto Studios and Games Operators have announced the release date for Cyber Ops.
The cyberpunk noir hacking game will be releasing in late 2019 for Windows PC (via Steam). You can check out the announcement trailer above.
In the game, you play as a military hacker for the Geist Division, a high-tech special operations unit. You will coordinate with the operators on the ground, providing electronic support from your keyboard to help them reach their objectives.
Here’s a rundown of the game:
Cyber Ops is a story-based tactical hacking game, told from the point of view of a mission control supervisor, operating from the distance. You are the eye in the sky, the invisible hand, the cyber ghost, looking after your team over the net.
Cyber Ops is an innovative take on the stealth / hacking genre that explores the relationship between the operator and real people on the other end of the line through immersive narrative and challenging gameplay. The young nation of Baltia has earned its right to freedom after a long and painful war, but now the stakes are higher than ever before.
You are part of the Geist Division, a secret high-tech unit created by the government to protect the country from all kinds of next-gen threats. As the Operator, your mission is to provide remote support to a group of spec-ops agents deployed in urban terrains. You must control devices and systems with your deep hacking abilities, and scan the environment to provide the safest routes for your squad.
