Project 1v1
When features editor Alex Gibson learned that he was assigned to check Gearbox’s latest game, tentatively titled Project 1v1, he was very skeptical about the idea. A 1v1 shooter doesn’t sound all that compelling. There are a ton of FPS games already and this one would by its nature, lack the thrill of working with a team or having more than just one battle going on. However, after playing it, he sold.
In Project 1v1, you build a deck of cards that make up your character’s weapon loadout and skills so you can customize your combatant to fit your play style. Then, take it up against someone else’s load out in an intense, arena shooter style of gameplay. In his short time with it, Alex found it to be fast-paced, exciting, and he greatly enjoyed his time with it.
Sadly, it’s still likely a ways off, but it’s something that shooter fans should remember the name of… or not since the name will probably change but you know what we mean.
