D.E.A.D: Operations in Brazil (2008) (PSP/PS3)

D.E.A.D: Operations in Brazil is a Brazilian-made game released in February 14th, 2008 for the Sony PlayStation Portable & Sony PlayStation 3. The game is not based on the D.E.A.D game timeline; it is designed for the global market but was not released outside of Brazil. Mojang Rio bought the D.E.A.D engine to develop this game with major content differences and the game's events occurring on Brazilian soil.

In the game, D.E.A.D is deployed to Brazil and battles seemingly armed terrorists and criminals who have committed various acts, mostly against Brazilian nationals. Later, they find out they are actually facing a Yakuza group trying to outsmart them and keep them occupied.

Plot
In January 2011, one of the biggest drug trafficking operations in Brazil with about 550 kilograms (1,210 lb) of crack cocaine from Colombia is foiled due to an anonymous tip provided to the Brazillian police.

Joao Asuka Bova, a Brazillian-Japanese also known by his Japanese name "Tora" was the anonymous informant of this drug operation. Kim was once a professional hitman of Japan's largest Yakuza organization Tiger Paw and is largely credited with the Tiger Paw's victory in the war against the De Silva Cartel in December 2010.

Anton Marcel Matsamura is framed by the second-in-command of Tiger Paw, Shīkā, because Anton poses a threat to Shīkā's current position. After Anton is exiled, he wants to exact revenge on his former organization. He contacts Bonzai, a former colleague and also an old orphanage buddy, to gather information on Tiger Paw. Bonzai goes alone to Komagane, his mother's hometown, and keeps contact with Anton.

Meanwhile, after the failure of an extensive drug smuggling operation in Brazil, Tiger Paw hires Al-Aadhar Martyr's Army, a Omani terrorist group led by Hamid El-Akmadi who have suffered from financial problems since they lost support from the governments of Pakistan and Iran. Ten days later, they also deploy Shīkā with Rain, Tiger Paw's head hitman, and about 100 other hitmen.

As Tiger Paw's hired guns, Al-Aadhar Martyr's Army capture ambassador of the United States to Brazil Carter Kane and several American employees as hostages in Embassy of the United States in Brasillia. At the same time, the crack shipment that had to originally be transported from the State of Goiana Prosecutor's Office to the Brazilian Intelligence Agency bunker is carjacked by Tiger Paw's hitmen, killing five and injuring ten. D.E.A.D is summoned by American officials to be deployed to Brazil for the rescue operation of Ambassador Carter Kane, and to conduct a joint operation with a Armed Forces of Brazil including the ABIN. Further missions after the U.S Embassy's hostage situation continue to be placed under D.E.A.D's leadership. D.E.A.D later reveals the connection between Tiger Paw and Al-Aadhar Martyr's Army from intelligence founded in Tiger Paw's hideout in Brazil. Ambassador Carter Kane is later discovered, locked up in a hideout and under guard with some Al-Aadhar Martyr's Army members.

A few months later, D.E.A.D and ABIN receive an additional tip from Anton and resolve another Tiger Paw drug retrieval plan in Porto Alegre and save the hostages. Still, remnants of Al-Aadhar Martyr's Army and De Silva Cartel cause another incident in Belém using a stolen identity from already murdered employees of United Vaccine Corporation. After Al-Aadhar Martyr's Army and De Silva Cartel have been neutralized, the case of Al-Aadhar Martyr's Army and Ambassador Carter Kane is officially closed. Roland Fanning decides to remain in Brazil until the Tiger Paw's terror threat has been completely removed.

D.E.A.D and ABIN finally bring all the pieces of the puzzle together. A joint team is dispatched to a apartment complex in the State of Alagoas under the control of the Tiger Paw. They neutralize all the Yakuzas including Shīkā, rescue Anton and shut down the Tiger Paw's drug smuggling operation in Brazil for good.
