Developer Cherrypick Games and publisher Frozen District have announced Quartermaster, a new management sim/base-builder where you run a secret spy agency where you develop gadgets, train agents, and manage your staff. It’s in development for PC and due out late this year or in early 2026.
It’s your job to research gadgets, equip your agents, and make sure their gear is good enough that they don’t die in the field. Cherrypick gave some examples of the gadgets you can expect to craft in Quartermaster: “Under-the-coat jetpacks. Top-tech spy glasses. Robots disguised as attaché cases. Hologram-generating devices. Watches that shoot glass-cutting lasers. Undetectable latex disguise masks.” Check out the announcement trailer above and the first screenshots in the gallery below.
Cherrypick sums up Quartermaster as such: “Research, develop, prepare, monitor mission success rates, and adapt to build the most efficient and commercially successful top-secret agency in the world!” In short, it seems as though fans of Q from the James Bond films who never thought that character got their due can now play a whole game built around them.
You can wishlist Quartermaster on Steam if you’re intereseted.
