The sinking of Hyper Scape, which will be definitively disconnected on April 28 not even two years after its launch, does not seem to have scalded Ubisoft which is therefore preparing a new free-to-play multiplayer. Project Q – since it’s still his little name – had been spotted for the first time on the NVIDIA GeForce Now database by our colleagues from Eurogamer in September of last year. A few days ago, Tom Henderson, a great purveyor of indiscretions of all kinds, confirmed its existence by revealing the first details about the title, communicated by sources who preferred to remain anonymous. Information expanded by a first video of gameplay suggesting a game that is still not very advanced in its development.
Visually, Project Q is in line with the cartoonish styles of Fortnite, Overwatch or Knockout City. Side gameplaytwo game modes have already filtered: the mode Showdown which will oppose four teams of two players and Battle Zone where two teams of four will compete for zone control. The player will be able to select his character’s weapon, from an arsenal more original than that of the first TPS to come: paint gun, fireworks, sticks or hammers, to name but a few examples. Finally, each of the heroes of Project Q will also be able to make use of three Wonders, powers that will have to be matched to make the most of them.
The title would probably be in development at Ubisoft Bordeaux, whose website announces that the studio is currently working on an F2P PVP not yet announced. Ubisoft therefore ended up formalizing the title on Saturday, stating that registrations for future test sessions are already open and that it does not plan to market NFT for it. For the time being, no release date has yet been announced, but we do know that Project Q is expected on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC.
