The player’s character is codenamed Bell and can be customized to your liking in terms of ethnicity, skin tone, genres, and personality special perks. The game is said to be inspired by actual events and will take players across locations such as: Vietnam, East Berlin, Turkey, and the Soviet KGB’s headquarters. The campaign will include different endings depending on what players choose throughout the game.
