Second person shooter Screencheat has been scheduled for release on PS 4 and Xbox One this year.
Developer Samurai Punk has announced it will be bringing its unique and addictive second person shooter video game, "Screencheat," to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2015.
The Australian games development company reaped earlier success when they originally released the game on Steam. The game encourages imaginative cheating with players forced to screen-cheat to find their opponents in order to shoot them.

Since opposing players are rendered invisible in the split-screen multiplayer game, the only way to make them visible is to "screencheat" by stealing glances at their screens. Using color-coded maps, structural elements, and landmarks, players can pinpoint their enemies' positions and aim for a kill.
"Screencheat" will include 10 different guns, each featuring unique shooting powers. The Blunderbuss gives players the ability to shoot at close range, the rocket-powered yo-yo mace, Sörgeån aims at longer range targets, while the Hobby Horse is a small horse and sword players can use to ride at their opponents and skewer them.
With a one-hit kill limitation, players need to adapt to all the different weapons and pick their shots wisely to avoid their position being revealed to the enemy
The game will also feature 10 separate maps of a number of different environments equipped with landmarks to help players find their opponents. Players can opt for the classic Deathmatch mode, or the Cluedo Mystery mode to add customization to their game.
"Screencheat" can be played both locally and online, where each user sees other players in the game appearing as if they were right next to them.
While no exact launch date for the game has been released, Xbox Wire has hinted "Screencheat" will be made public later in the year.
