Following its release in July, and a string of several award wins since then, Operation: Tango<\/a><\/em><\/strong> is now dropping a free content update featuring an all-new Challenge Mode. So, grab your partner and get ready for this new twist on Tango\u2019s spy experience!<\/p>\n

The new content update finds Angel and Alistair, our illustrious pair of agent and hacker, back at Tango HQ\u2019s Training Facility, anxious to tackle a collection of fully reimagined and amped-up puzzles inspired by the comments and desires of our community. Players will explore the facility, unlocking its sections one after another as they complete challenges. Along the way, they will encounter old and new robotic friends to help them ace the training program. But as always, it is only by taking their communication skills to new levels that Tango operatives can find success.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The challenges of the free content update are espionage-based time trials. Completion times are ranked from bronze to gold, while our Discord server will host leaderboards to supply bragging rights to the world\u2019s best operatives. But whether you\u2019re a casual or competitive gamer, out for some fun or a serious speed-run, Operation: Tango<\/em> strives to give all players an experience that is challenging yet always accessible.<\/p>\n

When deciding on what new content to produce for the game, the game\u2019s director, Mattieu B\u00e9gin, thought \u201cOperation: Tango<\/em> is rich in possibilities, especially for those already familiar with its core mechanics.\u201d Inspired by the speed-running community, Matt asked his team: \u201cWhat if this free content release was focused on speed of execution?\u201d The team quickly got on board!<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Since the new content unlocks after all missions are completed, it makes sense to go beyond the thrill of discovering new scenarios, and instead challenge players on how precisely and quickly they manage to communicate. It\u2019s a fun exercise in expert execution and it lets players decide for themselves how far they want to push it.<\/p>\n

Anybody can leisurely go through the challenges if all they want is to experience new content, but those who wish to test their limits can try for silver or gold, or even compete on the overall leaderboard on our Discord server.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t hesitate! There is so much to discover in the new free content update for Operation: Tango<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. And don\u2019t forget: friends still play for free!<\/p>\n
