This Spring, the Agent and the Hacker Team Up to take the worst polluting corporation down!

Press release:
PARIS, March 30, 2018 –Piece of Cake Studios, the independent video game studio specializing in co-op games, announces today that the special spring event for Hacktag, called “Easter Eggs” will start this Week-end via Steam. In addition to bringing a whole series of special content – who has never dreamed of sabotaging a multinational on behalf of the Easter Bunny?… Seriously? – the “Easter Eggs” event will also bring new permanent features to the game, including a brand new social menu.

The “Easter Eggs” update contains:
– New skins for the 12 playable characters,
– Levels that bloom with spring decorations,
– A special story mission : help the Easter Bunny (what a hippie!) to take the worst polluting corporation down!
– New special accessories to unlock.

And also, some permanent new features:
– An a all-new social menu,
– A new leaderboard with more player and games statistics,
– Many improvements including a new tutorial and many others fixes.

Set in 2029 in a parallel world populated by cute, anthropomorphic animals, Hacktag is a fast-paced two-player co-op stealth-game with asymmetric gameplay. One player is an Agent in the field while the other is a virtually-infiltrated Hacker. Hired as mercenaries by competing corporations, the two players work together to carry out espionage missions via online or local co-op—or in solo mode, one player switches between the two roles.

In Hacktag, the Agent moves physically through a corporate building level while the Hacker moves alongside electronically via network nodes. While the Agent avoids physical guards (watch out for those pandas!), the Hacker avoids anti-virus software moving through the network, with both players seeking to hack computers to steal the data required for mission success. While some tasks can be accomplished by either player, many tasks require the cooperation of both—for instance, opening a locked door requires the Hacker to electronically unlock it while the Agent physically opens it.

The game was released on Steam in February 2017, where it has been continually refined and expanded in keeping with community feedback. Hacktag is available for 19.99 EUR/USD.
