Klei Entertainment has offered an update on its upcoming turn-based tactical espionage game, Invisible Inc., by highlighting some of the game's newest features. On top of showing some more of the former Incognita in action, the latest update video includes some new mechanics and upgraded foes.

The most notable addition to the Invisible, Inc. arsenal will be Augments, meant to further the idea of agent progression. Augments are permanent improvements, which will vastly improve agent abilities, like speed boosts or longer-ranged shots. In exchange, players will permanently lose an inventory slot.

While agents will receive upgrades, like Augments and 360-degree field-of-view, they will also see some more formidable resistance. Klei has unveiled some new details on 'Tier 2' guard robots with higher health and higher damage output, though the developer notes that these guards may present different challenges in the future.

Invisible, Inc. is coming later this year to PC. For more on how the game is progressing, visit the Klei forums and check out the video below.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
