Developer Alawar has announced Beholder IV, the latest chapter in the dystopian narrative and surveillance simulation series. The announcement marks the tenth anniversary of the franchise, whose first game launched on November 9, 2016.
In Beholder IV, the player takes on the role of a young and promising Ministry official leading a double life: officially diligent, ambitious, and loyal to the State; secretly collaborating with the underground resistance by stealing documents, sabotaging operations, and gathering intelligence.
The game returns to a totalitarian State where every choice matters. Players will balance a career inside the Ministry with increasingly dangerous covert assignments, including planting wiretaps, cracking safes, building relationships with opposing factions, and destroying incriminating evidence.
The announcement was accompanied by the release of the digital comic Beholder: The Landlord’s Handbook, an illustrated field manual for apartment managers, and a 90% discount on the original Beholder on Steam through November 24.
Beholder IV is in development for PC, with a Steam page already available for wishlisting. No release date has been revealed yet.
