Ubisoft seems to have quite a lot going on that none of us know about. Recently, we dove into a huge report detailing a load of unannounced Ubisoft games, and now that same source has revealed an upcoming shooter, currently titled 'Project Q'.
According to the report, "eight sources" have confirmed that Ubisoft's Bordeaux studio is working on this thing, and the company has described it as an “innovative and modern PvP battle arena game."
'Project Q' supposedly has two core modes, one that works as a 'King of the Hill' style affair, while the other is the studio's take on battle royale. The latter is currently dubbed 'Showdown' and consists of four two-player squads.
So far, it all sounds a little uninspired and trend-chasing, rather than being "innovative" as suggested. At least the game's weapons sound unique, with the report detailing "a Deck of Cards, Fireworks, Hammers, Sticks, and Paintguns" as typical 'Project Q' weapons.
Again, this is all unofficial at the time of writing so best to take this info with a pinch of salt. Still, we're intrigued by this one as Ubisoft's previous battle royale, Hyper Scape, hardly set the world alight. The report says that 'Project Q' "has been compared closely to the likes of Overwatch" though, so maybe this one will fair a little better.
What do you make of this? Would it be good for Overwatch to get some direct competition? Let us know your thoughts below.

Hasnt BR had its day yet? I’m really surprised these big publishers haven’t jumped on among us gameplay loop yet instead
Ubisoft are so desperate to get in on that Fortnite/PUBG etc type model that they have tried several times and 'failed' leading to them cancelling their game - Hyper Scape is an example and DefiantX didn't go down well either...
Maybe they want it so desperately to sell their NFT's (which flopped in their 'paid for' market) that they are so keen to sell you and trying to 'develop' a bandwagon jumping game to be the 'store front' to selling NFT's
Jeeze Ubisoft is determined to get something BR related out aren't they? I wish instead they'd just try to bring back some of their more unique MP offerings they've done in the past like Spies VS Mercs or Assassins Creed MP in some capacity. The BR boat is already full we really don't need another one.
@Bleachedsmiles I biggest name to jump on that was Epic. Fortnite had a mode like that for a while.
Enough with these BR!!!
It's like everyone wanted to make a fps back on 360/ps3 but now it's BR.
It should be a standard hero shooter instead.
@Bleachedsmiles I wished, but the normies from my friendlist mostly play BR.
