“Codename “Project U” explores a new concept of session-based co-op shooter,” Ubisoft’s invitation to closed tests reads, “where many players unite to prevail against an overwhelming threat!” Judging by the artwork accompanying the page, you’ll be playing as an armoured and armed team up against a huge swarm of very angular-looking machines. I’m going to call them the Sporks. The machines, not the team. Project U didn’t feature among the list of games in the works at Ubisoft that leaked from NVIDIA’s GeForce Now service this time last year. Neither is it the same game as Project Q, which I reported on back in April. Project Q is a MOBA, and Ubisoft definitely don’t want you to think it’s a battle royale. That one leaked so many times that Ubisoft just upped and announced the game, describing it simply as “FUN!”. It’s still something of an enigma wrapped in a shooter, wrapped in an impending playtest for now, but I’ll let you know when I hear any more on Project U.
