News: There are some new mechanics now available with this new update that might change the way you play.

If you are a fan of the game Secret Neighbor there is good news as a big summer update has just arrived. The Summer Camp Update brings a major systems overhaul to Secret Neighbor which is inspired by player feedback and has been designed to revitalize every map and mode in the game.

With this new update you will find experience-based progression and some character-defining perks that will completely change the way you play the game. Additionally, every match will be different thanks to new randomly placed hazards in every map. There are also some balance changes, as well as some more inventory space for everyone. With this new update it doesn’t matter if you are new to the game or a Rescue Squad veteran, there is something for you.

With those meddling kids breaking into his properties every single night, Mr Peterson has invested in some improvised security. Now every match will be different, with familiar routes randomly blocked off, and sneaky traps placed where you least expect it. Players will have to work as a team if they don't want to get snatched up after stumbling into a snare. Stick together, and don't forget that any one of you could be the Neighbor in disguise,

The real meat of the Summer Camp update is a whole new progression system. As you play matches (with more rewards for playing longer rounds with a full squad of players), you'll earn experience for whatever kid or Neighbor incarnation you were playing as. As well as unlocking a bundle of new cosmetic goodies and summer camp arm-patches to show off, players can pick from an assortment of Talents; game-altering perks that can change the way you play as either a Rescue Squad kid or the Neighbor.

The Bagger, Brave and Leader have also received some tweaks to make them more teamwork-oriented. They have bigger backpacks too, as the kids now have a dedicated inventory slot for the flashlight, giving them more tactical flexibility in every match. What will you fill the extra slot with? Another gadget, an emergency snack, or just something heavy to throw at the Neighbor if he shows his face?

The Summer Camp update is live now on PC, Xbox, PlayStation and iOS with the Switch update coming soon. Secret Neighbor is also part of the PlayStation Plus Extra library, so more can join the fun.
