Watson Public Playtest—Now LIVE!

  • Our next two characters will be released on the same day, along with a few surprises and a large collection of all-new costumes! Today, we are testing Watson and both of his Special Abilities detailed below.
  • For this test, Watson is automatically unlocked for all players!
  • You can join us on Steam by following the directions at the bottom of this post. We expect this test will be live for a little over 24 hours.
  • More details are coming soon on the next major additions to ESPIONAGE: Mafia Evolved that have been the subject of many hours since early summer, but in the meantime please report any bugs you encounter with this playtest in the support thread.

Watson Special Abilities

Final Draft

Initiate a secret vote among all players. If supported by the majority, all Suspicion is cleared including for those that voted against. If not supported by a majority or a tie occurs, those that voted in favor will have their Suspicion increased substantially.

Cosign

For the next two rounds, you and a target will have access to one another's AP after either uses all of their own AP. The linked AP is usable for any purpose including Special Abilities and debates. (Should any player in the match receive an AP Limit penalty due to a Special Role Ability, this effect is nullified.)

If you would like to playtest these features, please do the following:

  • Right click on ESPIONAGE: Mafia Evolved in your Steam library
  • Left click on Properties
  • Choose Betas
  • To the right, in the Beta Participation section, change the dropdown option from None to cutting-edge - Cutting Edge. You may now close the window.
  • The game should automatically update from this point and be labeled as ESPIONAGE: Mafia Evolved [cutting-edge] in your library.
  • If the game does not automatically update, close Steam and then re-open it. You may also use the Verify Integrity of Game Files option within Steam to force this. If bandwidth is not a concern, you can uninstall and reinstall the game client as well.
  • Between testing periods, the Cutting Edge client will be automatically reverted to the Retail/Default version of the game. For this reason, you do not need to switch back and forth to play with those across versions.
