The Ritual demands more. With Update 2.2, we’re revisiting how you earn your place in the game and how you dress for the part. Blessings have been reforged, Arcane Skins are back with a vengeance, and Legacy Mode prepares to make its full return.

Blessings Crushing System

You've asked for better ways to complete the Season Pass - and we're answering.

We’ve split Blessings into two distinct types, each with their own role in the Ritual:

Drink Blessings

Before the Ritual begins, Subjects have the option to drink a Blessing, which grants all Subjects of the Ritual temporary access to every Terror and Curse without any cost. This provides a chance to explore all available options in the Store.

In addition to this, you will earn Double XP as a reward.

Smashing Blessings

Subjects can choose to smash Blessings in batches of 1x, 5x, or 10x.Each smashed Blessing grants +1000 Season XP.

Unlike drinking, smashed Blessings affect only you – no shared bonuses, no Terror access, no double XP.

Smashing is instant. It happens outside the Ritual. No ceremony. No waiting.

Use it to catch up. Use it to push ahead.

New Arcane Skins – Chang & Decoy

Two new Arcane items have surfaced - and they’re anything but subtle.

Arcane Chang
Arcane Decoy

Both are available now in the store, exclusively with Gems.

Legacy Mode – Final Testing Phase

Legacy Mode development is entering the final stretch. After 8 focused playtests - and with 2 more scheduled this week - we’re closing in on the return of classic Deceit gameplay. Over 300 community testers have helped us pressure-test this mode, uncovering bugs, refining balance, and ensuring it channels the original tension and paranoia players remember.

To mark the occasion, we’re releasing the Legacy Bundle DLC alongside launch. This pack revives six iconic outfits from Deceit 1 -

Zombie Alex
Nutcracker Chang
Boots & Blush Rachel
Ace Queen Lisa
Skeleton Crew Hans
Mimette Nina

Each skin has been reimagined for Deceit 2, honouring the past while embracing the present. More details coming soon.

Legacy is nearly here, and it’s going to change the game.

See you in the Ritual!
