We do love a good mystery and the folks over at Gearbox Software are enticing their latest project just so.
The Borderlands and Battleborn developers are branching out into new territory with their new IP, which can be described as a “competitive first-person shooter that combines the action of fast-paced 1v1 first-person combat with the metagame strategy of a collectible card game“.
Codenamed Project 1v1, the developer has revealed a Closed Technical Test for PC will be held this Summer as persons interested can sign up on Gearbox’s SHiFT website. This Closed Technical Test will feature three modes:
- Ranked: Match up with an opponent based on player rating. Win ranked matches to earn experience and crates containing new cards
- Challenge: Challenge a friend to an unranked match
- Arena: Queue up to challenge the current Arena champion – and win to take their place
Although this is the initial announcement of the IP, there’s not much information we can provide at this stage, but we’ll be closing following this story for more updates.
