On Feb. 11, 2027, PQube will publish a new spy thriller developed by Sumo Digital, according to a press release issued earlier today. The game will be available digitally on most platforms, and physically on PlayStation 5.
Sumo Digital is the skilled developer behind a number of past hits, including 2017's Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, which is basically the best kart racer you'll ever find this side of Mario Kart. The team also developed and self-published Snake Pass, a fun little project that let players assume the row of a slithering snake named Noodle.
Spyder: Agent 8 is another indie project, and it sounds like it must relate to the 2020 iOS game, Spyder. The new game casts players as Agent 8, the world's smallest spy. He is a robotic spider created by the Secret Agent Facilitation Enterprise (S.A.F.E. for short). With sticky feet and an assortment of high-tech devices, he aims to prevent the Syndicate of International Nasties (S.I.N.) from taking over the world.
Players will climb, crawl, and explore environments comprised of objects much larger than they are. When you're as tiny as Agent 8, even an orange is a big deal. A simple environment like a desk or a locker room might easily become an obstacle course full of puzzles to solve and hazards to avoid.
The game's list of key features is as follows:
High-Tech Spider - Play as Agent 8, a tiny spy gadget that moves like a real spider! A clever, charming hero who can crawl into every hidden corner.
Spy Stealth Adventure - Sneak through exciting maps and complete daring missions. Hide from cameras, stay undetected, and outsmart obstacles before disaster strikes!
Spy Tools - Equipped with all the gadgets and gizmos you’ll need, use tools like your cutting torch to slice through panels or your web grapple to swing across gaps as you take on exciting spy missions
Clever Moves - Solve fun environmental puzzles! Push, pull, and launch objects to open secret paths, trigger surprises, and find creative ways to complete each mission.
Cool Vibes - Step into a colorful retro world inspired by 1970s spy films. Detailed, lively visuals bring every mission to life, making you feel like a true superspy.
Spider Vision - Crawl upside down, across walls, ceilings, and floors while the camera smoothly follows your moves. Take control or let it guide you for full crawling fun!
Secret Stash - Play levels again and again to uncover hidden treasures, find collectibles, and unlock achievements. A Spyder’s mission isn’t over until every secret is discovered!
Master bite-sized Micro-Missions - Once you’ve completed each main mission, unlock Micro-Missions designed to put your spy skills to the test! These quick 3-minute challenges feature bite-sized objectives and give you a chance to put Agent 8’s gadgets and abilities to the test.
Spyder: Agent 8 is currently scheduled to reach Switch, Switch 2, Xbox Series X, PC, and PlayStation 5 on Feb. 11, 2027. It will be available through select retailers as a physical produce, in the case of the PS5, while the rest of us will have to content ourselves with a digital release.
